Bridge to Transplantation with a Left Ventricular Assist Device
A 61-year-old female patient was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy with severe left ventricle dysfunction. Two days after admission, continuous renal replacement therapy was performed due to oliguria and lactic acidosis. On the fifth day, an intra-aortic balloon pump was inserted due to low cardiac output syndrome. Beginning 4 days after admission, she was supported for 15 days thereafter w...
متن کاملWorldwide experience with the MicroMed DeBakey Ventricular Assist Device as a bridge to transplantation.
BACKGROUND Ventricular assist device (VAD) support with pulsatile first generation pumps is a well-established therapy for bridging to transplantation. Shortcomings of this technology include limited applicability to small patients, noise, and high incidence of infection and pump malfunction. A second generation of pumps, spearheaded by the axial flow MicroMed DeBakey VAD, is in clinical trials...
متن کاملProlonged Use of Levitronix Left Ventricular Assist Device as a Bridge to Heart Transplantation.
UNLABELLED A 61-year-old male presented to our emergency room with chest tightness, dyspnea, and cold sweat. He underwent a 12-lead EKG which showed ST-elevation from leads V1-V4 and T wave inversion in leads II, III, and aVF. His troponin-I level was elevated to 70.3 ng/ml. He went into cardiogenic shock when he was in the catheter room. After advanced cardiac life support was administered for...
متن کاملExtracorporeal life support as a bridge to bridge: a strategy to optimize ventricular assist device results.
OBJECTIVES Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) devices provide temporary mechanical circulatory assistance and are usually implanted under emergency conditions in critical patients. If weaning off ECLS is not possible, heart transplantation or implantation of long-term mechanical circulatory support (LTMCS) is required. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the bridge-to-bridge (BTB) concept....
متن کاملThe ventricular assist device: a bridge to ventricular recovery, a bridge to heart transplantation or destination therapy?
Despite advances in pharmacological treatments aimed at a neurohormonal blockade for heart failure, there is still a growing number of patients with advanced symptoms who suffer significant morbidity and mortality. At present the most effective cure for end-stage congestive heart failure is cardiac transplantation. This method is severely limited owing to a lack of available organs. This is why...
