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 کاملDevelopment of the Baylor Gyro permanently implantable centrifugal blood pump as a biventricular assist device.
The Baylor Gyro permanently implantable centrifugal blood pump (Gyro PI pump) has been under development since 1995 at Baylor College of Medicine. Excellent results were achieved as a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) with survival up to 284 days. Based on these results, we are now focusing on the development of a biventricular assist device (BVAD) system, which requires 2 pumps to be impla...
متن کاملTransapical transcatheter device closure of relapse left ventricular diverticulum: a novel minimally invasive technique for reoperation
We describe a novel minimally invasive technique, transapical transcatheter device closure of relapse left ventricular diverticulum (LVD) under transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) guidance. The patient previously underwent LVD primary repair and mitral valvular replacement. The anatomical characteristics of the relapse LVD and its adjacent structures are detailedly delineated by echocardiogr...
متن کاملMinimally invasive epicardial injections using a novel semiautonomous robotic device.
BACKGROUND We have developed a novel miniature robotic device (HeartLander) that can navigate on the surface of the beating heart through a subxiphoid approach. This study investigates the ability of HeartLander to perform in vivo semiautonomous epicardial injections on the beating heart. METHODS AND RESULTS The inchworm-like locomotion of HeartLander is generated using vacuum pressure for pr...
متن کاملCardiac Failure after Liver Transplantation Requiring a Biventricular Assist Device
Increased hepatic iron load in extrahepatic organs of cirrhotic patients with and without hereditary hemochromatosis portends a poorer long term prognosis after liver transplant. Hepatic as well as nonhepatic iron overload is associated with increased infectious and postoperative complications, including cardiac dysfunction. In this case report, we describe a cirrhotic patient with alpha 1 anti...
