Gastrointestinal bleeding with continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices.
Continuous-flow left ventricular assist device (CF-LVAD) insertion is a life-saving procedure that is being increasingly used in patients with advanced heart failure. However, patients with CF-LVADs are at an increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB). Bleeding can occur anywhere in the GI tract with lesions being more prevalent in the upper GI tract than in the lower GI tract. The patho...
متن کاملCharacteristics of ventricular tachycardia ablation in patients with continuous flow left ventricular assist devices.
BACKGROUND Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are increasingly used as a bridge to cardiac transplantation or as destination therapy. Patients with LVADs are at high risk for ventricular arrhythmias. This study describes ventricular arrhythmia characteristics and ablation in patients implanted with a Heart Mate II device. METHODS AND RESULTS All patients with a Heart Mate II device who u...
متن کاملEffects of continuous-flow versus pulsatile-flow left ventricular assist devices on myocardial unloading and remodeling.
BACKGROUND Continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) are increasingly used for patients with end-stage heart failure (HF). We analyzed the effects of ventricular decompression by continuous-flow versus pulsatile-flow LVADs on myocardial structure and function in this population. METHODS AND RESULTS Sixty-one patients who underwent LVAD implantation as bridge-to-transplant were an...

متن کاملOutcomes after implantation of 139 full-support continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices as a bridge to transplantation.
OBJECTIVES Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are a routine treatment for patients with advanced heart failure as a bridge to transplantation. The aim of this study was to present our institutional experience and mid-term outcomes after implantation of 139 continuous-flow (cf) LVADs as a bridge to transplantation. METHODS One hundred and thirty-nine consecutive LVAD implantations were pe...
