Patient Outcomes in Magnet-Based Implantable Auditory Assist Devices.
IMPORTANCE Magnet-based implantable auditory assist devices (MIAADs) are a recent development in bone-anchored hearing devices. This report increases the number of children studied with specific outcome criteria and provides detailed solutions to avoid device use difficulties in other centers considering this device. OBJECTIVE To assess hearing thresholds, use rates, and complications in chil...
متن کاملCurrent Trends in Implantable Left Ventricular Assist Devices
The shortage of appropriate donor organs and the expanding pool of patients waiting for heart transplantation have led to growing interest in alternative strategies, particularly in mechanical circulatory support. Improved results and the increased applicability and durability with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have enhanced this treatment option available for end-stage heart failure ...
متن کاملInnovation with experience using implantable left ventricular assist devices.
The National 1Institutes of Health’s artificial heart program, initiated in 1964, has generated sustained and coordinated efforts by industry and academic engineers and investigators to create and develop mechanical circulatory support devices to prolong and enhance the lives of patients with advanced heart failure. These efforts have been supported by a combination of federal, industry, and ph...
متن کاملBiventricular 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 کاملImplantable Left Ventricular Assist Devices and the Kidney
The use of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) in treating patients with advanced heart failure restores cardiac output resulting in improved perfusion to multiple organ systems with important clinical benefits. Renal pathophysiology during LVAD support remains an evolving, poorly understood, and potentially dynamic problem. Changes in renal function after LVAD placement have been investiga...
