Ventricular assist devices for heart failure
BACKGROUND Heart failure is a clinical syndrome of major epidemiological and economical importance. In Germany as in other industrialised countries it is one of the leading causes of mortality, morbidity and disability. For patients not responding to medical therapies ventricular assist devices are used as bridge to transplant, bridge to recovery or as destination therapy alternative to transpl...
متن کاملVentricular Assist Devices for Pediatric Heart Disease
Mechanical Circulation Assist Devices are designed for the treatment of acute and chronic heart failure and can be applied for different indications and assist period. Treatments that are carried out with Ventricular Assist Device System (VADs) have improved over course of time, within the practical applications of pediatric cardiac surgery. Pulsatile devices being in the lead, paracorporeal as...
متن کاملExtracorporeal membrane oxygenation for pulmonary assist in patients with ARF.
Temporary extracorporeal support of (or substitution for) certain vital organs can sustain life for several hours to several months in patients suffering from acute respiratory failure. Furthermore, sufficient improvement in the condition of the afflicted vital organ can occur during this supported period of disability, so that ultimate recovery and relatively good health can be achieved by the...
متن کاملEffects of left ventricular assist devices on outcomes in patients undergoing heart transplantation.
BACKGROUND Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are increasingly being used to "bridge" patients to heart transplantation. METHODS Data from 40 consecutive status 1 heart transplantation patients treated with intravenous inotrope therapy (n = 20) or the HeartMate LVAD (n = 20) were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS Baseline clinical characteristics were similar in the two groups. At the ...
متن کاملUse of miniaturized extracorporeal circulation for implanting left ventricular assist devices in high-risk end-stage heart failure patients
Methods Four patients with end-stage ischemic heart failure were included in this study. All patients were inotrope dependent (INTERMACS class 2) and their preoperative evaluation considered them to be high-risk for developing postoperative right ventricular failure. Hence, optimization of right ventricular function was performed preoperatively following a protocol based on intermittent adminis...
