Thrombus in Ventricular Assist Device Patients
Background. Thromboembolic events may be related to thrombotic deposition on prosthetic valves. In a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) that contains two porcine pericardial bioprosthetic valves in addition to significant associated biomaterial placement, this may be particularly true. Thrombotic deposits on valves removed from LVADs at autopsy or heart transplantation were scored to determi...
متن کاملAsymmetric pattern of cerebrovascular lesions in patients after left ventricular assist device implantation.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Stroke is a major adverse event after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) surgery. The purpose of this study was to describe differences in hemispheric distribution of stroke in LVAD patients. METHODS We reviewed 317 consecutive patients who underwent LVAD surgery between November 2000 and July 2011. Stroke during LVAD support was analyzed. RESULTS In total, 46 stro...
متن کاملInfectious complications in patients with ventricular assist device HeartMate II
Results 82 (77.4 %) patients were without infection, 7 (6.7 %) patients developed pump-pocket infection and in 17 (16 %) patients occurred driveline infection. Patients were divided according to driveline technical implantation to three groups: 58 patients with classic/direct technique, 12 patients with „C-shape techniquevelour coated“ and 36 patients with „C-shape technique plastic exit site“....
متن کاملImprovement 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...

E LECTROCARDIOGRAPHIC changes without dem-lonstrable cardiac eause have beeni found in soimie patients with cerebrovascular accidents.1', These hallges have usually affeeted the T wave, which is flatteneed aucd oftenl inverted, not infrequently of a typically coroniary shape. Large. positive T waves have also beetn described. The T-wave alterations are muost clearly deinioiistrable in leads I, ...
