Given the lack of donors, heart transplants under these conditions are increasing, so it is necessary to plan the entire process starting from the implantation of the device, which will allow to foresee possible complications and their respective solutions, thus obtaining best results. We describe the guidelines to be taken into account in LVAD implantation (access, location and route of the outflow graft, driveline, closure), as well as in the planning and performance of the transplant, making a brief comment on two important aspects about the usual hemodynamic management in these cases.
