In this communication we describe a technique to change paracorporeal ventricular assist devices after the development of mechanical complications. This procedure is technically simple and in our experience does not require a sternotomy or cardiopulmonary bypass. Paracorporeal ventricular assist devices can be safely changed allowing continued support and survival.
