Spontaneous hyphema and pupillary block in a patient with a left ventricular assist device.
The left ventricular assist device (LVAD) has been a standard of care for the management of patients with advanced heart failure since the 1990s. An increased risk of spontaneous bleeding related to the device has been noted, ranging from minor epistaxis to major thoracic and mediastinal hemorrhages. To our knowledge, intraocular hemorrhage has not been previously reported. We report a 72-year-...
متن کاملChronic Hemodialysis in a Patient with Left Ventricular Assist Device
Renal dysfunction in the setting of heart failure is a common medical problem. This dysfunction can range from reversible ischemic changes to renal failure requiring renal replacement therapy. Patients who are candidates for mechanical circulatory support with left ventricular assistant device (LVAD) pose unique challenge with respect to receiving dialysis. We present a 47 year old patient who ...
متن کاملOsteopathic treatment in a patient with left-ventricular assist device with left brachialgia: a case report
This study deals with an osteopathic approach used for a patient with left-ventricular assist device (L-VAD) affected by left brachialgia. Clinical examination revealed the presence of thoracic outlet syndrome and pectoralis minor syndrome, with compression of the left proximal ulnar nerve, related to the surgical sternotomy performed. The osteopathic techniques used can be classified as indire...
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...
