Application of centrifugal pump in right ventricular failure due to pulmonary artery hypertension. (A case report)
Background: It has not been yet developed a ost suitable method to treat right ventricular failure due to pulmonar artery hypertention resulted from ventricular arrhythia. Though some case reports about patients ready to heart transplant using left assist device or biventral assist device as bridge have been published in Journals, but nocase concerning application of centrifugal pump for treatm...
متن کاملComparison of continuous-flow and pulsatile-flow left ventricular assist devices: is there an advantage to pulsatility?
BACKGROUND Continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (CFVAD) are currently the most widely used type of mechanical circulatory support as bridge-to-transplant and destination therapy for end-stage congestive heart failure (HF). Compared to the first generation pulsatile-flow left ventricular assist devices (PFVADs), CFVADs have demonstrated improved reliability and durability. However, CF...
متن کاملDesign an Equivalent Left Ventricular Assist Device for Medical Equipment Labs
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...
متن کاملOpening of native aortic valve accomplished after left ventricular assist device implantation in patients with insufficient preoperative Beta-blocker treatment.
Although we recently demonstrated that opening of a native aortic valve (AV) after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation is a sufficient condition to prevent development of aortic insufficiency (AI), its preoperative predictors remain unknown. Data were obtained from 58 patients who had been treated with continuous flow LVAD for ≥ 6 months at our institute between 2006 and 2014. Op...
متن کاملPrevalence, significance, and management of aortic insufficiency in continuous flow left ventricular assist device recipients.
BACKGROUND Aortic insufficiency (AI) is increasingly recognized as a complication of continuous flow left ventricular assist device support; however, its long-term prevalence, clinical significance, and efficacy of potential interventions are not well known. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied the prevalence and management of AI in 232 patients with continuous flow left ventricular assist device a...
