Windkessel model of hemodynamic state supported by a pulsatile ventricular assist device in premature ventricle contraction
BACKGROUND Counter-pulsation control (CPC) by ventricular assist devices (VADs) is believed to reduce cardiac load and increase coronary perfusion. However, patients with VADs have a higher risk of arrhythmia, which may cause the CPC to fail. Consequently, CPC has not been applied by VADs in clinical practice. The phase-locked loop (PLL) algorithm for CPC is readily implemented in VADs; however...
متن کاملSystemic right ventricle supported by implantable axial-flow assist device.
In 30-year-old man with a history of Mustard correction of transposition of the great arteries (TGA), HeartMate II (Thoratec Corporation, Pleasanton, CA, USA) assist device was implanted into the failing systemic right ventricle. The shape and size of the device were designed for left ventricle insertion. This requires special attention to verify the correct position of the inflow cannula and p...
متن کاملDevelopment of a new pulsatile ventricular assist device.
We developed a small, lightweight, low-cost implantable ventricular assist device (VAD) for use in smaller Japanese subjects. The major advantage of this pump is the simplicity of its fabrication. Most parts of the pump were shaped from a transparent acrylic block by a turning process, and the diaphragm was made from a silicon sheet. Since this method of construction did not require any complex...
متن کاملLong-Term Management of Pulsatile Extracorporeal Left Ventricular Assist Device
Heart transplantation provides considerable survival benefits for patients with end-stage heart failure, but it is available for only a small fraction of such patients all over the world due to donor shortage. Therefore, many heart transplant candidates require long-term support by a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) while they await transplantation. However, the long-term LVAD support can ...
متن کاملHemodynamic Performance of a Novel Right Ventricular Assist Device (PERKAT)
Acute right ventricular failure (RVF) is an increasing clinical problem and a life-threatening condition. Right ventricular assist devices represent a reasonable treatment option for patients with refractory RVF. We here present a novel percutaneously implantable device for right ventricular support. The PERKAT device is based on a nitinol stent cage, which is covered with valve-carrying foils....
