Cardiac Transplantation and Surgery for Heart Failure Biventricular Circulatory Support With Two Miniaturized Implantable Assist Devices
Background—Up to 30% of patients with end-stage heart failure experience biventricular failure that requires biventricular mechanical support. For these patients, only bulky extracorporeal or implantable displacement pumps or the total artificial heart have been available to date, which enables only limited quality of life for the patients. It was our goal to evaluate a method that would allow ...
متن کاملLong-term continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) as bridge to heart transplantation.
Heart transplantation (HTx) is the treatment of choice for end-stage heart failure but the limited availability of heart's donors still represents a major issue. So long-term mechanical circulatory support (MCS) has been proposed as an alternative treatment option to assist patients scheduled on HTx waiting list bridging them for a variable time period to cardiac transplantation-the so-called b...
متن کاملLong-term mechanical circulatory support with the wearable Novacor left ventricular assist system.
OBJECTIVE As of July 1st 1999, 36 European patients have lived for more than 1 year supported by the Novacor wearable electric left ventricular assist system (LVAS). All were unresponsive to maximum medical therapy, prior to implantation. These patients offer an unique opportunity to evaluate the feasibility of long-term ambulatory mechanical circulatory support as a therapeutic option for pati...
متن کاملLong-term circulatory support with a left ventricular assist device therapy in Japan.
edical and electrical therapies for systolic heart failure have improved patients’ outcome and the altered natural history of the disease. Although heart transplantation remains the most successful treatment option for patients with advanced heart failure refractory in terms of medical and electrical treatments, cardiac transplantation is available for only a minority of patients because of a l...
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...
