bridging to heart transplantation from the biventricular pulsatile berlin heart excor assist device support in a patient with advanced end-organ failure
long-term mechanical circulatory support is a life-saving technology while briding to heart transplantation. it increases the quality of life and preserves end-organ function for patients with advanced heart failure. the number of patients with advanced heart failure scheduled for heart transplantation before comorbidities escalate is on the rise. however, the device function is complicated by...
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...

متن کاملBiventricular assist device utilization for patients with morbid congestive heart failure: a justifiable strategy.
BACKGROUND The rationale for the use of a biventricular assist device (BiVAD) for morbid congestive heart failure (MCHF) has been questioned because of historically unacceptable rates of postimplant and post-transplant mortality as well as perceived barriers to their outpatient management. METHODS AND RESULTS All patients who received a Thoratec BiVAD from January 1990 to December 2003 at the...
متن کاملCardiac Transplantation and Surgery for Heart Failure Biventricular Circulatory Support With Two Miniaturized Implantable Assist Devices
Background—Up to 30% of patients with end-stage heart failure experience biventricular failure that requires biventricular mechanical support. For these patients, only bulky extracorporeal or implantable displacement pumps or the total artificial heart have been available to date, which enables only limited quality of life for the patients. It was our goal to evaluate a method that would allow ...
