Implantation of the syncardia total artificial heart.
With advances in technology, the use of mechanical circulatory support devices for end stage heart failure has rapidly increased. The vast majority of such patients are generally well served by left ventricular assist devices (LVADs). However, a subset of patients with late stage biventricular failure or other significant anatomic lesions are not adequately treated by isolated left ventricular ...
متن کاملThe SynCardia CardioWeste Total Artificial Heart
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is commonly regarded as the “final common pathway” of cardiovascular decline resulting from all forms of heart disease. Despite advances in the prevention and treatment of many forms of cardiovascular disease, CHF continues to exist as a major and, unfortunately, growing form of morbidity and mortality in the United States and around the world. As myocardial funct...
متن کاملPhysiological characterization of the SynCardia total artificial heart in a mock circulation system.
The SynCardia total artificial heart (TAH) has emerged as an effective, life-saving biventricular replacement system for a wide variety of patients with end-stage heart failure. Although the clinical performance of the TAH is established, modern physiological characterization, in terms of elastance behavior and pressure-volume (PV) characterization has not been defined. Herein, we examine the T...
متن کاملThe Syncardia(™) total artificial heart: in vivo, in vitro, and computational modeling studies.
The SynCardia(™) total artificial heart (TAH) is the only FDA-approved TAH in the world. The SynCardia(™) TAH is a pneumatically driven, pulsatile system capable of flows of >9L/min. The TAH is indicated for use as a bridge to transplantation (BTT) in patients at imminent risk of death from non-reversible bi-ventricular failure. In the Pivotal US approval trial the TAH achieved a BTT rate of >7...
متن کاملA first step beyond traditional boundaries: destination therapy with the SynCardia total artificial heart.
The SynCardia total artificial heart is currently used as a bridge to transplantation therapy in cases of irreversible, acute or chronic, biventricular heart failure. We describe the implementation of this technology in the context of destination therapy in a patient with an end-stage heart failure on grounds of primary amyloidosis.
