Total artificial heart

Best Practice & Research Clinical Anaesthesiology, 2012
End-stage heart failure represents a highly morbid condition for the patient with limited treatment options. From a surgical perspective, the treatment options for effective long-term survival are usually limited to heart transplantation, heart-lung transplantation or implantation of a destination mechanical circulatory support device.

Artificial Heart Valves

Annual Review of Medicine, 1990
This overview of heart valve prostheses is based on a current review of clinical reports and focuses on the major complications that characterize long-term valve performance: thromboembolism, thrombosis, anti-coagulant-related bleeding, and structural failure.

Total Artificial Hearts

1990
The first attempt to utilize a total artificial heart (TAH) was by Demikhov (Figure 33.1), who removed a dog’s heart and replaced it with a mechanical device1. His original plan was to maintain an artificial circulation, so that the organs from a cadaver could be used for transplantation1.

Control of the Artificial Heart

ASAIO Journal, 1996
The artificial heart (AH) is devoid of physiologic connections to the recipient's native feedback control loops. Control of an AH can be either passive or dynamic. Passive intrinsic control provides limited AH response to physiologic demands. Dynamic control requires the sensing of metabolic and hemodynamic signals and their incorporation into self ...

The Artificial Heart

Archives of Surgery, 1977
A multidisciplinary group has designed, fabricated, and evaluated an artificial heart. The heart consists of two smooth-surfaced sac-type pumps, two pneumatic power units, and an electronic control system. The artificial heart has been employed in 22 calves.

The total artificial heart

Nature Medicine, 2003
Over the past 50 years, significant advances have been made in the development of total artificial hearts (TAH). These advances have most recently led to a clinical trial of a unique, transcutaneously powered TAH.

The Total Artificial Heart

AACN Advanced Critical Care, 1991
In the early 1800s, an awareness of potential ventricular failure stimulated interest in artificial heart replacement. In 1937 the first total artificial heart (TAH) was implanted into the chest of a dog by Russian physicians. The primary driving force for mechanical cardiac assistance developed from the necessity for circulatory assistance in order to

The Artificial Heart Juggernaut

The Hastings Center Report, 1989
The Artificial Heart Juggernaut In May 1985 a panel of experts urged the National Institutes of Health to resume funding to develop a totally implantable permanent artificial heart: Fully implantable ventricular assist systems, in which an auxiliary pump takes over the function of the diseased ventricle, may be beneficial for some patients; for other ...
