Concurrent Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) Implantation and Percutaneous Temporary RVAD Support via CardiacAssist Protek-Duo TandemHeart to Preempt Right Heart Failure
Right ventricular failure (RVF) is an unfortunate complication that continues to limit outcomes following durable left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation. Despite several 'RVF risk scores' having been proposed, preoperative prediction of post-LVAD RVF remains a guesstimate at best. Current strategies for institution of temporary RVAD support are invasive, necessitate additional re-th...
متن کاملTemporary transcutaneous pacing. New indications for an old technique.
ranscutaneous (external) temporary pacing ('ITP) was originally developed in the T 1950s. Although unquestionably effective, it caused extensive contraction of the chest wall muscles and diaphragm and was therefore largely abandoned with the advent of temporary transvenous pacing. Recent improvements in techniques have led to improved patient tolerance and a rekindled interest in TTP, especiall...
متن کاملImplantation of left ventricular support under extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
Continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are used to manage patients with end-stage heart failure. Protection of right ventricular (RV) function is important during LVAD implantation, but sometimes patients require temporary RV support. We describe the technique of LVAD implantation under extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) we use in our center. This technique allows soft ...
متن کاملPermanent and temporary pacemaker implantation after orthotopic heart transplantation.
PURPOSE:To determine the indication for and incidence and evolution of temporary and permanent pacemaker implantation in cardiac transplant recipients. METHODS: A retrospective review of 114 patients who underwent orthotopic heart transplantation InCor (Heart Institute USP BR) between March 1985 and May 1993. We studied the incidence of and indication for temporary pacing, the relationship betw...
متن کاملPreventing LVAD implantation by early short-term mechanical support and prolonged inodilator therapy
Cardiogenic shock continues to be a life-threatening condition carrying a high mortality and morbidity, where the prognosis remains poor despite intensive modern treatment modalities. In recent years, mainly technical improvements have led to a more widespread use of short- and long-term mechanical circulatory support, such as veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) and left...
