Atypical tamponade hemodynamic in a patient with temporary left ventricular assist device.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Postoperative bleeding and tamponade are considered major complications after implantation of left ventricular assist devices. Firstly, 40% of patients supported by ventricular assist devices experience early postoperative bleeding, and 20% developed tamponade requiring re-exploration. Secondly, we present a case of a patient with tamponade, on temporary left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support with atypical hemodynamic and echocardiographic manifestations demonstrated with computed tomography (CT)-M mode, conventional Doppler, color Doppler and echo imaging.

LVAD is a mechanical pump supporting a weak heart function and blood flow. Sometimes, the heart may not recover fast enough to take over the pumping action immediately after surgery, in such patients a temporary support device has been employed to maintain the pumping action until the patient’s own heart recovers. This device can be considered as a temporary alternative before the process of ar...

BACKGROUND Acute cardiogenic shock after myocardial infarction is associated with high in-hospital mortality attributable to persisting low-cardiac output. The Impella-EUROSHOCK-registry evaluates the safety and efficacy of the Impella-2.5-percutaneous left-ventricular assist device in patients with cardiogenic shock after acute myocardial infarction. METHODS AND RESULTS This multicenter regi...

Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are approved for use in patients in stage D heart failure (HF), either as bridge to transplantation or as permanent (destination) therapy. The optimal timing of LVAD implantation along the continuum of chronic HF is under active investigation. Most patients currently being implanted with LVADs have significant hemodynamic compromise, usually necessitating...
