Surgical infection prophylaxis for left ventricular assist device implantation.
BACKGROUND Antimicrobial prophylaxis is commonly administered to patients undergoing left ventricular assist device (LVAD) surgeries to prevent infectious complications. However, optimal surgical infection prophylaxis (SIP) for LVAD surgeries is not well defined. METHODS We conducted an electronic survey to characterize LVAD SIP used at different centers performing LVAD implantation. RESULT...

متن کاملLate Complications Following Continuous-Flow Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation
Left ventricular assist devices have become standard therapy for patients with end-stage heart failure. They represent potential long-term solutions for a growing public health problem. However, initial enthusiasm for this technology has been tempered by challenges posed by long-term support. This review examines these challenges and out current understanding of their etiologies.
متن کاملAcute kidney injury and mortality following ventricular assist device implantation.
BACKGROUND Ventricular assist devices (VADs) are increasingly common, and their surgical implantation predisposes patients to an increased risk of acute kidney injury (AKI). We sought to evaluate the incidence, risk factors and short- and long-term all-cause mortality of patients with AKI following VAD implantation. METHODS We identified all patients who underwent VAD implantation at the Univ...
متن کاملHemolysis and Pulmonary Insufficiency following Right Ventricular Assist Device Implantation
We report a case of severe hemolysis and pulmonary valve insufficiency (PI) following right ventricular support using a paracorporeal pneumatic pump (Abiomed, Danvers, MA, USA). We speculate that the high velocity jet of blood emanating from the outflow cannula caused turbulence above the pulmonary valve, leading to PI and hemolysis. Despite the growing number of implanted ventricular assist de...
