The total artificial heart--a bridge to transplantation.
Many heart centers are utilizing the total artificial heart for a bridging technique to transplantation, particularly in patients with bi-ventricular failure or irreversible left ventricular failure, where a donor heart is not readily available. This discussion includes the training procedure, operation and management of Canada's first total artificial heart performed on May 1, 1986.
متن کاملCirculatory Support as a Bridge to Pediatric Heart Transplantation
BACKGROUND Pediatric patients awaiting orthotopic heart transplantation frequently require bridge to transplantation (BTT) with mechanical circulatory support. Posttransplant survival outcomes and predictors of mortality have not been thoroughly described in the modern era using a large-scale analysis. METHODS The United Network for Organ Sharing database was reviewed to identify pediatric he...
متن کاملVenoarterial ecmo as bridge to heart transplantation. a good chance
Methods An observational prospective study was conducted from March 2010 to February 2015. We reviewed the clinical characteristics and evolution of patients who received venoarterial ECMO as bridge to heart transplant. We analyzed demographic variables, underlying cause of CS, complications and global survival. The quantitative variables are presented as mean ± SD or as median and 25 -75 perce...
متن کاملExtracorporeal membrane oxygenation: successful bridge to pediatric heart transplantation.
Since the year 2000, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support for cardiac failure has been employed in the post operative care of children at the Centro Cardiovascular de Puerto Rico y el Caribe. Our experience with the application of ECMO had been limited to circulatory support after repair of congenital cardiac lesions. We report the first case in Puerto Rico where ECMO was used suc...
متن کاملExtracorporeal membrane oxygenation bridge to adult heart transplantation.
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can rescue some critical patients with circulatory collapse when intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) and ventricular assist devices (VAD) are not suitable. A subset of these patients can use ECMO for direct bridging, or indirect double bridging via VAD to heart transplantation (HTx). For these patients, we identified risk factors for unsuccessful ECMO bri...
