The 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 کاملMinimally invasive surgical implantation of left ventricular epicardial leads for ventricular resynchronization using video-assisted thoracoscopy.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Cardiac resynchronization via left ventricular or biventricular pacing is an option for selected patients with ventricular systolic dysfunction and widened QRS complex. Stimulation through a coronary vein is the technique of choice for left ventricular pacing, but this approach results in a failure rate of approximately 8%. We describe our initial experience with minim...
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 ...
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 کاملTransapical transcatheter device closure of relapse left ventricular diverticulum: a novel minimally invasive technique for reoperation
We describe a novel minimally invasive technique, transapical transcatheter device closure of relapse left ventricular diverticulum (LVD) under transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) guidance. The patient previously underwent LVD primary repair and mitral valvular replacement. The anatomical characteristics of the relapse LVD and its adjacent structures are detailedly delineated by echocardiogr...
