Different surgical strategies for implantation of continuous-flow VADs-Experience from Deutsches Herzzentrum Berlin.
OBJECTIVE This manuscript summarizes our surgical experience with the implantation of recent continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), with special emphasis on the HeartWare HVAD pump. METHODS THE HEARTWARE HVAD IS, IN OUR EXPERIENCE CURRENTLY IMPLANTED IN FOUR DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES: (I) "Classical" LVAD implantation with heart-lung machine and median sternotomy; (II) "Minimally...
متن کاملBiventricular 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 کاملSuccessful use of the HeartWare HVAD rotary blood pump for biventricular support.
Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) using rotary blood pump technology led to significant improvement of results in left ventricular failure. However, patients with concomitant right ventricular failure have not benefited from this new technology so far. We report on the first successful use of 2 HeartWare HVAD centrifugal pumps (HeartWare International, Inc, Framingham, Mass) in biventricu...
