Magnetically Active Cardiac Patches as an Untethered, Non‐Blood Contacting Ventricular Assist Device
Patients suffering from heart failure often require circulatory support using ventricular assist devices (VADs). However, most existing VADs provide nonpulsatile flow, involve direct contact between the blood flow and the device's lumen and moving ...

Ex-vivo recruitment and x-ray assessment of donor lungs in a challenging retrieval from a donor supported by lvad using the portable normothermic perfusion system: A case report [PDF]
Lung transplantation (LTx) is limited by the shortage of suitable donors. To overcome this problem, many programs have begun to use donors with extended criteria (marginal donors).

Mechanical Circulatory Support for the Management of Complex Peripartum Cardiomyopathy
Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare but potentially fatal disease. The management of PPCM is individualized, and an early diagnosis is instrumental in the institution of an appropriate management plan. Here, we present a dramatic case of PPCM that

Conventional radiography and computed tomography of cardiac assist devices [PDF]
Patients intended for circulatory support by cardiac assist devices (CAD) usually suffer from end-stage acute or chronic heart failure. Since the introduction of CAD in 1963 by DeBakey and coworkers, the systems have gone through a substantial evolution ...

Occupational Therapy’s Role with Ventricular Assist Devices and the Promotion of Travel Protocols [PDF]
An option for individuals diagnosed with end-stage heart failure is to receive a ventricular assist device (VAD). In 2006, Shepherd and Wilding produced an article regarding occupational therapy’s role during the VAD process as they anticipated a growing
