Emergency HeartWare Ventricular Assist Device (HVAD) exchange due to pump thrombosis using minimally invasive technique
Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) thrombosis remains a dreadful complication of mechanical circulatory support, with an incidence of 8-12% depending on the pump type and patient's comorbidities. Fibrinolysis may be considered early in pump thrombosis, but when contraindicated a pump exchange remains the only alternative. This short report documents an emergency LVAD exchange in a 55-year-ol...
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...
متن کاملTheoretical Estimation of Cannulation Methods for Left Ventricular Assist Device Support as a Bridge to Recovery
Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support under cannulation connected from the left atrium to the aorta (LA-AA) is used as a bridge to recovery in heart failure patients because it is non-invasive to ventricular muscle. However, it has serious problems, such as valve stenosis and blood thrombosis due to the low ejection fraction of the ventricle. We theoretically estimated the effect of the...
متن کاملHeartWare ventricular assist device experience in the real world.
We congratulate Wu et al. [1] for sharing their experience with the HeartWare ventricular assist device (HVAD), which is the largest published series so far. They were successful in demonstrating improvement not only in haemodynamic parameters but also in renal and liver function after device implantation. In comparison with previously published multicentre trials and single-centre experiences ...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Assist Device as a Bridge to Recovery for Patients With Advanced Heart Failure
BACKGROUND Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have been used as an effective therapeutic option in patients with advanced heart failure, either as a bridge to transplantation, as destination therapy, or in some patients, as a bridge to recovery. OBJECTIVES This study evaluated whether patients undergoing an LVAD bridge-to-recovery protocol can achieve cardiac and physical functional capa...
