Cardiac Assist Devices
The Surgical Research Laboratory at Sinai Hospital of Detroit has as its primary goal the development of mechanical and biological technics for augmenting or replacing the function of a damaged heart. Scientific contributions from our group include the development of a cardiac pacemaker, a method for electronic control of bladder evacuation, technics for chronic stimulation of nerves, and a met...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Assist Devices: Engineering Design Considerations
Patients with end-stage congestive heart failure awaiting heart transplantation often wait long periods of time (300 days or more on the average) before a suitable donor heart becomes available. The medical community has placed increased emphasis on the use of Left Ventricular Assist Devices or LVADs that can substitute for, or enhance, the function of the natural heart while the patient is wai...
متن کاملPercutaneous ventricular assist devices: clinical evidence
Efficient therapy of cardiogenic shock and optimal protection in high-risk p ercutaneous coronary intervention are still orphaned to ideal management. Intra-aortic b alloon pump and the newer percutaneous ventricular assist devices, such as TandemHeart and Impella Recover LP 2.5, have diversified the therapeutic arsenal with which one can tackle these clinical dilemmas. This article describes t...
متن کاملNovel percutaneous cardiac assist devices: the science of and indications for hemodynamic support.
Progress made in cardiovascular treatment over the past several decades has been impressive. Combined invasive and pharmacological treatment strategies have improved clinical outcome in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), as well as in those treated for acute myocardial infarction and decompensated heart failure. In the case of acute myocardial infarction, dramatic red...
متن کاملFuture Treatment of Acute Cardiac Collapse - A Role for Percutaneous Circulatory Assist Devices
1.1 Acute cardiac collapse Patients with cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest still have a very poor prognosis despite recent improvements in treatment algorithms. Acute coronary ischemia and myocardial infarction (AMI) is the most frequent cause of cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest. Improved survival has been shown for patients with AMI treated with urgent coronary revascularization. Also, ...
