Heartmate II outflow graft ligation and driveline excision without pump removal for left ventricular recovery.
We report interruption of left ventricular assist device (VAD) support by way of outflow graft ligation and driveline excision while leaving the pump in situ. In this case, the indication for mechanical assist device separation was myocardial recovery, which occurred following 9 months of support. This case report demonstrates the feasibility of separating a patient from a VAD without the need ...
متن کاملLigation of the Outflow Graft of the Left Ventricular Assist Device for Management of Hemolysis Due to Pump Thrombosis
Pump thrombosis is a serious complication of continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (LVAD). Treatment options include medical thrombolysis, surgical pump exchange or urgent heart transplantation. We are reporting a case of pump thrombosis with active hemolysis and acute renal failure managed surgically by isolating the LVAD while awaiting renal recovery and donor heart availability.
متن کاملComparison of left ventricular geometry after HeartMate II and HeartWare left ventricular assist device implantation
BACKGROUND HeartMate II (HM II) and HeartWare (HW) Left Ventricular Assist Devices have been successfully used in end-stage heart failure patients as a bridge to transplantation, recovery, or decision. We set out to compare their effect in off-loading the left ventricle and its geometry. METHODS The left ventricular end diastolic (LVEDD) and end systolic (LVESD) diameters were compared betwee...
متن کاملSurgical technique influences HeartMate II left ventricular assist device thrombosis.
BACKGROUND Thrombosis of the HeartMate II (HM2 [Thoratec Corporation, Pleasanton, CA]) is a potentially devastating complication. While attention has been focused on anticoagulation strategies to prevent this complication, the impact of surgical technique has not been assessed. METHODS Patients undergoing HM2 implantation at two institutions were reviewed. Pump thrombosis (PT) was defined as ...
متن کاملHeartMate II left ventricular assist device; early European experience.
OBJECTIVE The novel axial flow left ventricular assist device HeartMate II was introduced into clinical practice in Europe as part of the pilot study and after CE approval in November 2005. In order to get an overview of the use and performance of the device in Europe a group of investigators was founded to compare the initial results. METHODS In a retrospective analysis of the first 101 cons...
