acute fulminant myocarditis successfully bridged to recovery with left ventricular assist device and complicated by flail mitral valve
acute fulminant myocarditis is a life-threatening inflammatory disease of the myocardium characterized by the rapid deterioration of the hemodynamic status of the affected individual. with prompt recognition and appropriate management, complete recovery of ventricular function is likely within a few weeks. we introduce a 28-year-old man with acute fulminant myocarditis, who experienced circulat...
متن کاملCardiac Failure after Liver Transplantation Requiring a Biventricular Assist Device
Increased hepatic iron load in extrahepatic organs of cirrhotic patients with and without hereditary hemochromatosis portends a poorer long term prognosis after liver transplant. Hepatic as well as nonhepatic iron overload is associated with increased infectious and postoperative complications, including cardiac dysfunction. In this case report, we describe a cirrhotic patient with alpha 1 anti...
متن کاملBiventricular assist device use in non-dilated hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Advanced heart failure is a rare but important complication of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The only definitive treatment is heart transplantation and the role of ventricular assist devices remains uncertain. We describe the use of implantable biventricular assist devices in the treatment of a patient with 'end-stage' non-dilated HCM.
متن کاملOxygenation via a Biventricular Assist Device for Emergency Airway Management.
A 56-year-old man receiving mechanical circulatory support via a biventricular assist device suffered an airway emergency secondary to bleeding into the airway. An improvised solution to gain control of the airway in the short term was devised, and an oxygenator was inserted into the circuit, providing an alternative means of gas exchange while definitive control of the airway was achieved. Thi...
متن کاملAdaptations to pulsatile versus nonpulsatile ventricular assist device support.
The refinement of mechanical cardiac assist devices over the past 50 years largely has been driven by the clinical imperatives to provide reliable circulatory support to patients waiting for cardiac allografts (bridge to transplant) or longterm support for patients with very advanced heart failure (destination therapy). In the course of increasing success with these applications, investigators ...
