Gastrointestinal bleeding with continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices.
Continuous-flow left ventricular assist device (CF-LVAD) insertion is a life-saving procedure that is being increasingly used in patients with advanced heart failure. However, patients with CF-LVADs are at an increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB). Bleeding can occur anywhere in the GI tract with lesions being more prevalent in the upper GI tract than in the lower GI tract. The patho...
متن کاملVideo capsule endoscopy in left ventricular assist device recipients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding.
AIM To assess whether video capsule endoscopy (VCE) affects the outcomes of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) recipients with gastrointestinal bleeding. METHODS This is a retrospective study of LVAD recipients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB) who underwent VCE at a tertiary medical center between 2005 and 2013. All patients were admitted and monitored with telemetry and all...

متن کاملPrevalence, significance, and management of aortic insufficiency in continuous flow left ventricular assist device recipients.
BACKGROUND Aortic insufficiency (AI) is increasingly recognized as a complication of continuous flow left ventricular assist device support; however, its long-term prevalence, clinical significance, and efficacy of potential interventions are not well known. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied the prevalence and management of AI in 232 patients with continuous flow left ventricular assist device a...
متن کاملApical pseudoaneurysm following continuous flow left ventricular assist device placement.
The HeartMate II continuous flow left ventricular assist device (LVAD) (Thoratec Inc) provides circulatory support for patients with medically refractory systolic heart failure as both a bridge to transplantation and destination therapy. Although left ventricular apical pseudoaneurysm has rarely been reported with first-generation pulsatile flow LVADs, this has not been previously reported with...
