Elevated Pressures on Aortic Valve Leaflets correlate with Orientation of LVAD Outflow Graft
Background/Introduction Better understanding of hemodynamic alterations caused by long-term use of continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) is necessary to evaluate their impact onto the native heart and major vessels. In particular, aortic insufficiency is a known complication after LVAD implantation and may be related to alteration of pressure distribution on the leaflets of the...
متن کاملThe vascular plug: a new device for parent artery occlusion.
Parent artery occlusion (PAO) is still indicated at times for the treatment of craniocervical vascular disease. Because of the unavailability of silicone and latex balloons in the United States, costly combinations of detachable and pushable coils have been required to achieve PAO. We describe our experience with a simple and less expensive alternative for PAO in 4 carotid arteries and 1 verteb...
متن کاملInternal iliac artery pseudo aneurysm occlusion using amplatzer vascular plug.
Pseudoaneurysm of the internal iliac artery is a rare occurrence. Our patient presented with pain over the lower abdomen which also radiated to the back. An Angiogram of the aorta and the iliac arteries showed a pseudoaneurysm of the right internal iliac artery which measured about 8 x 8 cm with a proximal branch of the internal iliac artery distended. Initial efforts of trying to embolize the ...
متن کاملLeft ventricular assist device outflow graft: alternative sites.
We describe three alternative approaches for the left ventricular assist device (LVAD) outflow graft during implantation of the LVAD. The supraceliac abdominal aorta, innominate artery and left axillary artery were employed as alternative sites for the LVAD outflow graft in the setting of a heavily calcified ascending aorta or a hostile chest wall and mediastinum. The first approach involved th...
متن کاملEarly experience with the AMPLATZER vascular plug IV for the occlusion of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations.
The recent generation of AMPLATZER Vascular Plug (AVP; ie, the AVP IV) was used for the occlusion of eight pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) in five patients. A treatment was considered successful when there was a reduction or disappearance of the aneurysmal sac. At a mean follow-up of 20.1 months, no recanalization of PAVMs was observed on multidetector computed tomographic angiogr...
