Complications in patients with ventricular assist devices.
Heart failure affects more than 5 million people in the United States. The treatments of this disease include medical therapy, heart transplantation, and the implantation of ventricular assist devices. These devices are used in patients who are no longer responsive to conservative medical treatment, who are not candidates for a heart transplantation (destination therapy), who are awaiting a hea...
متن کاملCandidemia in patients with ventricular assist devices.
During the period 1998-2004, candidemia developed in 7 of 117 ventricular assist device recipients at our hospital, and the associated mortality rate was 71%. Five cases of candidemia were due to Candida parapsilosis, and 2 were due to Candida albicans. Three of the 7 patients with ventricular assist device-associated Candida bloodstream infections were cured, and the device was retained in 2 o...
متن کاملVentricular assist devices and non-cardiac surgery
The use of ventricular assist devices has expanded significantly since their approval by the Food and Drug Administration in the United States in 1994. In addition to this, the prevalence of heart failure continues to increase. We aim to provide an overview of perioperative considerations and management of these patients for non-cardiac surgery. We performed a Medline search for the words "vent...
متن کاملManagement of ventricular arrhythmias in patients with ventricular assist devices.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To summarize the available evidence concerning the occurrence and treatment of ventricular arrhythmias in patients supported with long-term ventricular assist devices (VADs). RECENT FINDINGS Approximately one-third of left ventricular assist device-supported patients experience significant ventricular arrhythmias, with higher rates in certain patient subsets. Ventricular arr...
متن کاملOptimization of Cardiac-Cycle Synchronized Control for Ventricular Assist Devices
Heart failure is one of the leading causes of death in the developed countries. The use of ventricular assist devices (VADs) is an option for treating patients with end-stage heart failure which is increasingly applied, while heart transplantation represents the gold standard therapy. The reason for the increased use is both due to a shortage of donor organs and the improvement of VAD technolog...
