Left ventricular assist device support normalizes left and right ventricular beta-adrenergic pathway properties.
OBJECTIVES We hypothesized that some aspects of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) reverse remodeling could be independent of hemodynamic factors and would primarily depend upon normalization of neurohormonal milieu. BACKGROUND The relative contributions of LVAD-induced hemodynamic unloading (provided to the left ventricle [LV]) and normalized neurohormonal milieu (provided to LV and right...
متن کاملleft ventricular mechanical support with the impella during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
background: venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ecmo) provides systemic arterial support without directly unloading the left heart, which causes an elevated left ventricular (lv) pressure. the aim of the present study was to investigate the adjunctive application of the impella device for lv unloading in patients during ecmo. methods: this retrospective cohort study included patie...
متن کاملLong-term mechanical support for complex left ventricular postinfarct pseudoaneurysms.
Left ventricular free wall rupture can be a catastrophic problem. Although small lacerations can be managed with various techniques of primary closure, larger and more complex defects can be difficult to treat. We present and discuss 2 cases of chronic, complex ventricular pseudoaneurysms managed successfully with long-term mechanical support.
متن کاملFungemia associated with left ventricular assist device support.
OBJECTIVE Infections remain an important complication of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support. While relatively uncommon, fungal infections present a serious concern given a high association with adverse events including death. We sought to further characterize the epidemiology of fungemias during LVAD support. METHODS Retrospective review of 292 patients receiving LVAD support from ...
متن کاملLeft ventricular remodeling and myocardial recovery on mechanical circulatory support.
BACKGROUND Myocardial recovery after ventricular assist devices (VAD) is rare but appears more common in nonischemic cardiomyopathies (NICM). We sought to evaluate left ventricular (LV) end diastolic diameter (LVEDD) for predicting recovery after VAD. METHODS AND RESULTS NICM patients receiving long-term mechanical support between 1996 and 2008 were reviewed. Subjects were divided into 3 grou...
