Biventricular circulatory support with two miniaturized implantable assist devices.
BACKGROUND Up to 30% of patients with end-stage heart failure experience biventricular failure that requires biventricular mechanical support. For these patients, only bulky extracorporeal or implantable displacement pumps or the total artificial heart have been available to date, which enables only limited quality of life for the patients. It was our goal to evaluate a method that would allow ...
متن کاملRole of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators in patients with continuous flow ventricular assist devices.
T he management of advanced heart failure has been transformed in the past 2 decades by the advent of cardiac implantable electronic devices, such as implantable cardio-verter defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy, and more recently the left ventricular assist device (LVAD). All 3 of these devices have been found to improve survival in patients with advanced heart failure....
متن کاملGastrointestinal bleeding with continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices.
Continuous-flow left ventricular assist device (CF-LVAD) insertion is a life-saving procedure that is being increasingly used in patients with advanced heart failure. However, patients with CF-LVADs are at an increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB). Bleeding can occur anywhere in the GI tract with lesions being more prevalent in the upper GI tract than in the lower GI tract. The patho...

متن کاملThe role of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators in patients with continuous flow left ventricular assist devices - A meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) are each known to improve mortality in patients with advanced congestive heart failure (CHF). If ICDs contribute to improved survival specifically in recipients of LVADs is currently unknown. AIM To evaluate the impact of presence of ICD on mortality in continuous flow LVAD recipients. METHO...
