Outcomes of children bridged to heart transplantation with ventricular assist devices: a multi-institutional study.
BACKGROUND Current ventricular assist devices (VADs) in the United States are designed primarily for adult use. Data on VADs as a bridge to transplantation in children are limited. METHODS AND RESULTS A multi-institutional, prospectively maintained database of outcomes in children after listing for heart transplantation (n=2375) was used to analyze outcomes of VAD patients (n=99, 4%) listed b...
متن کاملThree-year outcomes with left ventricular assist devices in country with restricted heart transplantation
Background/Introduction As a consequence of limited donor availability, there has been a growing interest for alternative strategies, such as left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) as either a bridge to transplantation (BTT) or as destination therapy (DT) for the treatment of the advanced heart failure. The heart transplant program in Kazakhstan is in a nascent stage and therefore patients that...
متن کاملPost-transplant outcomes of children bridged to transplant with the Berlin Heart EXCOR Pediatric ventricular assist device.

Little is known about their post-transplant outcomes. The aim of this analysis was to determine whether there was a difference in early survival for children bridged to transplant with EXCOR versus status 1A pediatric heart ...
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 کاملInitial 3‐year outcomes with left ventricular assist devices in a country with a nascent heart transplantation program
AIMS The need for the left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) in patients with end-stage heart failure is well established, but prior to 2011, this was not available to patients in Kazakhstan. We describe the development of the sole LVAD programme in the context of a nascent heart transplantation programme and clinical outcomes for the first three years. METHODS AND RESULTS From November 2011 ...
