Implantation of the permanent Jarvik-2000 left ventricular assist device: a single-center experience.
OBJECTIVES We sought to evaluate the surgical results and effects of continuous support with the permanent Jarvik-2000 left ventricular assist device (LVAD). We report the early outcomes. BACKGROUND A shortage of transplant donors necessitates the testing of alternative treatments. The Jarvik-2000 is an axial flow pump with a percutaneous retro-auricular power connector, designed for permanen...
متن کاملInitial experience with off-pump left ventricular assist device implantation in single center: retrospective analysis
BACKGROUND We hypothesize that implantation of left ventricular assist device through off-pump technique is feasible and has a comparable result to implantation on cardiopulmonary bypass and could improve one-year survival. METHODS This retrospective, observational, single-center study was conducted on 29 consecutive patients at our institution who underwent off-pump left ventricular assist d...
متن کاملThe Minimally Invasive Approach to Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation: Is Smaller Better?
El apoyo de un dispositivo de asistencia ventricular izquierda (DAVI) es un tratamiento eficaz para los pacientes que sufren insuficiencia cardiaca en fase terminal. El concepto se introdujo por primera vez en 1994, cuando la Food and Drug Administration autorizó el dispositivo Thoratec HeartMate I. Los dispositivos de primera generación eran voluminosos, debido a las múltiples partes móviles n...
متن کاملVentricular arrhythmias after left ventricular assist device implantation.
BACKGROUND Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have been used as a bridge to cardiac transplantation and as destination therapy in patients with advanced heart failure. The period after LVAD support is associated with ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) despite ventricular unloading and such VAs can have a detrimental effect on survival. Despite the increasing use of LVAD, little is known regardi...
متن کاملHeart Failing Jehovah Witness Patient Successfully Treated by Minimally-Invasive Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation without any Blood Transfusions
What sounds like a headline of a newspaper is the title of a case report regarding cardiac surgery in a high-risk patient, namely, a patient undergoing left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation for heart failure treatment. The authors were courageous enough to implant a LVAD in a Jehovah witness, a Christian denomination whose members categorically refuse blood transfusions. They have ...
