Tricuspid Valve Annuloplasty Reduces Weaning Time from Temporary Right Ventricular Assistance in Patients Implanted With a Left Ventricular Assist Device
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Methods: From 2002 to 2014, 48 patients (mean age 54 ± 7.3) underwent LVAD implantation. The intention to treat was bridge to transplantation in 40 patients and bridge to destination in eight patients. A magnetically levitated rotary pump, designed for temporary extracorporeal support, was implanted in 11 patients (group A) to support the right ventricle. In 9 patients (group B), temporary RV support was augmented by tricuspid valve annuloplasty. We compared the outcome of the two groups of patients.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as perioperative right ventricular support in patients with biventricular failure undergoing left ventricular assist device implantation.
OBJECTIVE Left-ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation complicated by early right ventricle (RV) failure has a poor prognosis. This study details our center's experience with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as perioperative RV support in patients with preoperative biventricular failure undergoing LVAD implantation. METHODS Ten patients, who underwent LVAD implan...

Background: It has not been yet developed a ost suitable method to treat right ventricular failure due to pulmonar artery hypertention resulted from ventricular arrhythia. Though some case reports about patients ready to heart transplant using left assist device or biventral assist device as bridge have been published in Journals, but nocase concerning application of centrifugal pump for treatm...
متن کاملeComment. Adjustable tricuspid annuloplasty for functional tricuspid regurgitation.
Functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR) is a neglected and underestimated pathology. It occurs mostly from annular dilatation and right ventricular enlargement, which is frequent secondary to left-sided heart failure from myocardial or valvular causes, right ventricular volume and pressure overload, and dilatation of the cardiac chambers. Moderate-to-severe FTR should be corrected to improve s...

متن کاملDesign an Equivalent Left Ventricular Assist Device for Medical Equipment Labs
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...
