Acoustic Analysis of a Mechanical Circulatory Support
Mechanical circulatory support technology is continually improving. However, adverse complications do occur with devastating consequences, for example, pump thrombosis that may develop in several parts of the pump system. The aim of this study was to design an experimental clot/thrombosis model to register and analyze acoustic signals from the left ventricular assist device (LVAD) HeartMate II ...
متن کاملMechanical Circulatory Support
The role of mechanical circulatory device therapy has progressed rapidly over the last 2 decades, from supporting the failing heart in hospitalized patients awaiting heart transplantation to permanent or “destination” outpatient therapy in individuals with end-stage systolic heart failure (HF) for whom transplantation is not an option. Over this period, devices themselves have evolved through s...
متن کاملPediatric Mechanical Circulatory Support
Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in the pediatric heart failure population has a limited history especially for infants, and neonates. It has been increasingly recognized that there is a rapidly expanding population of children diagnosed and living with heart failure. This expanding population has resulted in increasing numbers of children with medically resistant end-stage heart failure. T...
متن کاملHemodynamics of Mechanical Circulatory Support.
An increasing number of devices can provide mechanical circulatory support (MCS) to patients with acute hemodynamic compromise and chronic end-stage heart failure. These devices work by different pumping mechanisms, have various flow capacities, are inserted by different techniques, and have different sites from which blood is withdrawn and returned to the body. These factors result in differen...
متن کاملMechanical circulatory support in pediatrics.
There is no reliable published data on the overall prevalence or incidence of heart failure (HF) in children. However, the success of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in management of HF has raised the prospect of a previously unavailable treatment modality. Orthotopic heart transplant (OHTx) remains the gold standard treatment, but the number of patients requiring this treatment far outwei...
