Sexual Concerns of Patients With Implantable Left Ventricular Assist Devices.
The growing field of implantable left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) lacks studies that evaluate the sexual and psychosocial concerns of LVAD patients. The aim of this prospective study was to determine the sexual and psychosocial behaviors of these patients. A sexual and psychosocial survey was conducted in patients who underwent the implantation of LVAD. Inclusion criteria were patients w...
متن کاملImplantable left ventricular assist devices: new hope for patients with end-stage heart failure.
INTRODUCTION Recently, the Food and Drug Administration approved implantable left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) as destination therapy (DT) for end-stage heart failure patients who are ineligible for cardiac transplantation. OBJECTIVE AND STUDY DESIGN This is a case series that describes the early results with DT LVAD at Duke University Medical Center (DUMC). An additional objective is to...
متن کاملOutcomes of children bridged to heart transplantation with ventricular assist devices: a multi-institutional study.
BACKGROUND Current ventricular assist devices (VADs) in the United States are designed primarily for adult use. Data on VADs as a bridge to transplantation in children are limited. METHODS AND RESULTS A multi-institutional, prospectively maintained database of outcomes in children after listing for heart transplantation (n=2375) was used to analyze outcomes of VAD patients (n=99, 4%) listed b...
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 ...
متن کاملInnovation with experience using implantable left ventricular assist devices.
The National 1Institutes of Health’s artificial heart program, initiated in 1964, has generated sustained and coordinated efforts by industry and academic engineers and investigators to create and develop mechanical circulatory support devices to prolong and enhance the lives of patients with advanced heart failure. These efforts have been supported by a combination of federal, industry, and ph...
