Gold standard in anticoagulation assessment of left ventricular assist device patients?: how about bronze.
SEE PAGE 314 C ontinuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (CF-LVADs) have become a standard therapeutic option in the management of eligible patients with advanced forms of heart failure. Although survival after LVAD implant has improved dramatically in the past decade, the cumulative incidence of LVAD-related adverse events is still high (1). Systemic anticoagulation is recommended in all ...
متن کاملImprovement of Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) in Artificial Heart Using Particle Swarm Optimization
In this approach, the Left ventricular assist pump for patients with left ventricular failure isused. The failure of the left ventricle is the most common heart disease during these days. Inthis article, a State feedback controller method is used to optimize the efficiency of a samplingpump current. Particle Swarm Algorithm, which is a set of rules to update the position andvelocity, is applied...
متن کاملThromboembolic stroke in patients with a HeartMate-II left ventricular assist device – the role of anticoagulation
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE It is unknown what the optimal anticoagulant level is to prevent thromboembolic stroke in patients with left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support. We aimed to evaluate the relation between coagulation status and the occurrence of thromboembolic stroke in HeartMate-II LVAD assisted patients. METHODS Thirty-eight consecutive patients with a HeartMate-II LVAD were incl...
متن کاملWhat is the optimal anticoagulation in patients with a left ventricular assist device?
A best evidence topic in cardiac surgery was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed was whether there is an optimal antithrombotic management for patients supported with axial-flow left ventricular assist devices (LVADs). Altogether, more than 758 papers were found using the reported search, of which 17 represented the best evidence to answer the clinical question. T...
متن کاملAssessment and management of right ventricular failure in left ventricular assist device patients.
Mechanical circulatory support devices, including ventricular assist devices (VADs) and the total artificial heart, have evolved to become accepted therapeutic options for patients with severe congestive heart failure. Continuous-flow left VADs are the most prevalent option for mechanical circulatory assistance and reliably provide years of support. However, problems related to acute and chroni...
