End Stage Heart Failure – Transplantation or Lvad?
Heart failure is a complex clinical syndrome that can result from any structural or functional cardiac disorder that impairs the ability of the ventricle to fill or eject blood. According to the data from the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation registry, the half-life of patient survival after heart transplantation has progressively improved from 8.9 years in 1982 to a proj...
متن کاملRight ventricular hypertrabeculation due to right heart failure after left ventricular assist device implantation.
DESCRIPTION Hypertrabeculation/non-compaction of ventricular myocardium (HVM/NVM) is a cardiomyopathy thought to be caused by arrest of normal embryogenesis of the endocardium and myocardium between the fetal 5th and 8th weeks, resulting in persistence of multiple prominent ventricular trabeculations with deep intertrabecular recesses. The myocardium of the left ventricle is most often affected...
متن کاملLVAD: Left ventricular assist devices for end-stage heart failure.
Heart failure affects more than 5 million Americans with approximately 200,000 patients in end-stage disease that has failed traditional treatment. Historically, the only option for treatment was a heart transplant until left ventricular assist devices offered another option.
متن کاملConcurrent Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) Implantation and Percutaneous Temporary RVAD Support via CardiacAssist Protek-Duo TandemHeart to Preempt Right Heart Failure
Right ventricular failure (RVF) is an unfortunate complication that continues to limit outcomes following durable left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation. Despite several 'RVF risk scores' having been proposed, preoperative prediction of post-LVAD RVF remains a guesstimate at best. Current strategies for institution of temporary RVAD support are invasive, necessitate additional re-th...
متن کاملI-40: Implantation Failure
Background: The process of implantation involves the interaction of the human embryo and the uterine epithelium. Failure of implantation is a major reason for infertility in women and the inability to achieve endometrial receptivity is responsible for much of the failure of reproductive technologies. Management of repeated implantation failure despite transfer of good-quality embryos still rema...
