چکیده

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 pump (Figs. 1 and 2). www.elsevier.com/locate/ejcts European Journal of Cardio-thoracic Surgery 36 (2009) 403

Initial Clinical Experience With the Jarvik 2000 Implantable Axial-Flow Left Ventricular Assist System

Background—Implantable left ventricular assist systems (LVASs) are used for bridging to transplantation, bridging to myocardial improvement, and for permanent circulatory support. Conventional implantable systems have inherent limitations that increase morbidity during support. In contrast, small, efficient, axial-flow pumps, which have been under development for the past decade, have the poten...

Management of patients treated with left ventricular assist devices

This thesis describes the management of patients treated with mechanical circulatory support devices for shortor long-term use. Twenty-four patients suffering from postcardiotomy heart failure were treated with a minimally invasive axial flow pump. The device was effective in unloading the failing left ventricle and in maintaining an adequate systemic circulation. The principles of perioperativ...

Numerical Simulation of Cardiovascular Response with VAD Support

paper studies the cardiovascular response under heart failure condition supported by two types of ventricular assist devices (VADs): the positive displacement pump and the impeller pump. The cardiovascular system is modeled using the concentrated parameter method developed previously, by considering flow resistance, vessel elasticity and inertial effects of blood in individual conduit segments....
