Repair of left ventricular driveline tear in a SynCardia-total artificial heart patient
We report the case of a 64-year old Caucasian male patient with a tear of the left ventricular driveline just above the driveline-air tube junction. We describe the repair technique and the necessary set of tools.
متن کاملImplantation of the syncardia total artificial heart.
With advances in technology, the use of mechanical circulatory support devices for end stage heart failure has rapidly increased. The vast majority of such patients are generally well served by left ventricular assist devices (LVADs). However, a subset of patients with late stage biventricular failure or other significant anatomic lesions are not adequately treated by isolated left ventricular ...
متن کاملThe SynCardia CardioWeste Total Artificial Heart
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is commonly regarded as the “final common pathway” of cardiovascular decline resulting from all forms of heart disease. Despite advances in the prevention and treatment of many forms of cardiovascular disease, CHF continues to exist as a major and, unfortunately, growing form of morbidity and mortality in the United States and around the world. As myocardial funct...
متن کاملFatal Acanthamoeba Encephalitis in a Patient With a Total Artificial Heart (Syncardia) Device
Acanthamoeba encephalitis is an uncommon but often fatal infection complication. Here we report the first case of Acanthamoeba encephalitis in a patient with a Total Artificial Heart device.
متن کاملImprovement of Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) in Artificial Heart Using Particle Swarm Optimization
In this approach, the Left ventricular assist pump for patients with left ventricular failure isused. The failure of the left ventricle is the most common heart disease during these days. Inthis article, a State feedback controller method is used to optimize the efficiency of a samplingpump current. Particle Swarm Algorithm, which is a set of rules to update the position andvelocity, is applied...
