Paediatric ventricular assist device support is associated with important adverse events, especially in the early phase after the device is implanted. Pump thrombosis and the need for a secondary right ventricular assist device are associated with cerebrovascular accidents. Furthermore, an encouragingly high rate of recovery in this patient population was shown, and death rates declined. More complete input of data into the registry, especially concerning anticoagulation protocols, would improve the data.
