A Novel Biventricular Assist Device With a Single Driveline: A Report on the First Patient Treated

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
We would like to report the first‐in‐human implantation of the novel DuoCor‐BiVAS biventricular assist device (BiVAD). This system features a single driveline and compact peripheral components, offering a promising mechanical support option for patients with terminal biventricular heart failure ineligible for heart transplantation.

Comparative Analysis of Pressure Drop (Δp): Hemodynamic Performance of Three Commercial Oxygenators During Cardiopulmonary Bypass

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
In this prospective study, a total of 60 patients were divided into three groups of 20 to compare the pressure drop (Δp) across three different oxygenators during cardiopulmonary bypass. The aim of this comparison was to enable evidence‐based optimization of the heart‐lung machine setup in order to minimize potential influencing factors and thereby ...

Outcomes in Patients Requiring VENO‐Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation After Cardiac Surgery: An Analysis From the PELS‐1 Study

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
We report an insight from the PELS‐1– a multicentre, international registry focusing on postocardiotomy extracorporeal support use between 2000 and 2020. We focused on 24/2163 (1.1%) patients requiring V‐V ECMO after cardiac surgery. Mortality was high, with 21.7% of patients discharged alive and an overall 1‐year survival probability of 12.5 ...
