Comparison 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 کاملDe novo arteriovenous malformations following implantation of the HeartMate II left ventricular assist device.
The HeartMate II (HMII) is the most popular continuous-flow left ventricular assist device (CF-LVAD) employed worldwide. Implantation of CF-LVADs has been associated with high rates of gastrointestinal bleeding, particularly from arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) [1,2]. Part of the increased bleeding risk relates to a reduction in circulating von Willebrand factor multimers [3]. However, it ha...
متن کاملThe heartmate left ventricular assist system: worldwide clinical results.
To date 482 patients have been treated with TCI's HeartMate left ventricular assist system (LVAS) at 70 clinical centers worldwide. Of those, 433 patients have undergone treatment with the HeartMate IP (implantable pneumatic) LVAS, while 49 patients were treated with the HeartMate VE (vented electric) LVAS. Currently 65 patients are on the HeartMate LVAS: 51 on the pneumatic version and 14 on t...
متن کاملThoratec HeartMate II(®) left ventricular assist device implantation in patient with patent ventriculoperitoneal shunt.
We report a case of HeartMate II(®) left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation as a destination therapy in a patient with a patent ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt after being suffered from subarachnoid hemorrhage. Because the patient's VP shunt was running through her right anterior chest and abdominal wall, a driveline exit site was selected in her left upper quadrant to avoid unnecess...
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 ...
