Ventricular arrhythmias after left ventricular assist device implantation.
BACKGROUND Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have been used as a bridge to cardiac transplantation and as destination therapy in patients with advanced heart failure. The period after LVAD support is associated with ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) despite ventricular unloading and such VAs can have a detrimental effect on survival. Despite the increasing use of LVAD, little is known regardi...
متن کاملSurgical infection prophylaxis for left ventricular assist device implantation.
BACKGROUND Antimicrobial prophylaxis is commonly administered to patients undergoing left ventricular assist device (LVAD) surgeries to prevent infectious complications. However, optimal surgical infection prophylaxis (SIP) for LVAD surgeries is not well defined. METHODS We conducted an electronic survey to characterize LVAD SIP used at different centers performing LVAD implantation. RESULT...
متن کاملRight ventricular failure after implantation of a continuous-flow left ventricular assist device: early haemodynamic predictors.
OBJECTIVES Right ventricular failure (RVF) is a significant complication after implantation of a left ventricular assist device. We aimed to identify haemodynamic changes in the early postoperative phase that predicted subsequent development of RVF in a cohort of HeartMate II (HMII) implanted patients. METHODS This was a single-centre observational study of consecutive placement of HMII devic...
متن کاملDesign an Equivalent Left Ventricular Assist Device for Medical Equipment Labs
LVAD is a mechanical pump supporting a weak heart function and blood flow. Sometimes, the heart may not recover fast enough to take over the pumping action immediately after surgery, in such patients a temporary support device has been employed to maintain the pumping action until the patient’s own heart recovers. This device can be considered as a temporary alternative before the process of ar...
