Mitral commissurotomy through the left ventricle apical orifice with Heart Ware left ventricular assist device implantation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Diseased, replaced or repaired mitral valve can lead to restricted blood flow to left ventricle and inadequate flow in left ventricular assist device (LVAD). A middle age woman with 'burnt out' hypertrophic cardiomyopathy had mitral valve repair for mitral regurgitation. She needed LVAD to support severe decompensating heart failure. Repaired mitral valve posed a risk of restricted flow through the device. Mitral commissurotomy was performed on beating heart through the left ventricular apical hole created for insertion of inflow cannula of LVAD.

Improvement 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...
متن کاملEvaluation of the left ventricle in patients with mitral stenosis.
M ANY THEORIES have been advanced concerning the mechanisms responsible for the reduced cardiac output in patients with mitral stenosis.1 Although the mechanical block at the mitral orifice is traditionally the most important factor,2 it is obviously not the entire answer since cardiac output frequently does not increase following mitral commissurotomy.3 5 Some investigators consider that this ...

The left ventricular aneurysm is one of the most significant complications of myocardial infarction and is defined as the expansion of the ventricular wall. The coronary artery aneurysm is characterized by an abnormal dilation of the localized portion of the coronary artery, and its main cause is atherosclerosis. We herein report an unusual case of coronary artery and left ventricular aneurysms...

The strategy for an infant with congenital mitral stenosis should be determined by three important factors: left ventricular volume, the degree of the systemic outflow tract obstruction, and the type of mitral valve dysfunction. A successful staged biventricular repair in early infancy for a patient who had congenital mitral stenosis with short chordae, hypoplastic left ventricle and coarctatio...

A 50-year-old male with end-stage cardiomyopathy had been on the transplant waiting list as UNOS status 1b and was recently admitted to hospital with decompensated heart failure (Video 1). His recent transthoracic echocardiogram showed dilated left ventricle with severe dysfunction, severe mitral valve regurgitation and severe tricuspid valve regurgitation. He was in INTERMACS class II and was ...
