How to manage malignant tumors surgery in patients supported with long term implantable left ventricular assist device?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods 34 patients underwent implantation of Heartmate II (HMII); we performed 4 resections of malignant tumors: 2 partial nephrectomies for renal tumors (8 months after implantation), a left segmentectomy for lung cancer (2 years later) under videothoracoscopy and a tumorectomy with lymphadenectomy for breast cancer (9 months later). Renal tumors were diagnosed during the pre-implantation screening; while the others were diagnosed after the device’s implantation.

LVAD is a mechanical pump supporting a weak heart function and blood flow. Sometimes, the heart may not recover fast enough to take over the pumping action immediately after surgery, in such patients a temporary support device has been employed to maintain the pumping action until the patient’s own heart recovers. This device can be considered as a temporary alternative before the process of ar...

Continuous flow (CF) left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have yielded improved outcomes in patient survival and quality of life compared with first-generation pulsatile pumps; however, they have been associated with an increased incidence of postimplant aortic valve insufficiency (AI), which can have can have serious clinical consequences if not diagnosed and treated expeditiously. We revie...

Background: Dextrocardia is a congenital anomaly, which may have coexistent coronary artery disease (CAD), arrhythmias and conventional indications for device therapy. However, the implantation of transvenous leads can be technically challenging and the approach needs to be tailored to the patient's individual anatomy. Case presentation: A 54-year-old male with dextrocardia situs inversus and i...
