Successful heart transplantation after 4 years of bridging with HeartWare HVAD for left ventricular noncompaction in an 11-year-old boy with prohibitively high pulmonary vascular resistance

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology
End-stage heart failure due to left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) poses unique challenges for ventricular assist device implantation, like inflow cannula obstruction due to trabeculations. We report a case of an 11-year-old boy with LVNC who underwent

The impact of peripheral arterial disease on patients with mechanical circulatory support. [PDF]

, 2020
Background: Left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) are indicated as bridging or destination therapy for patients with advanced (Stage D) heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Due to the clustering of the mutual risk factors, HFrEF patients

Engineering the Hierarchical Porosity of Granular Hydrogel Scaffolds Using Porous Microgels to Improve Cell Recruitment and Tissue Integration

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 12, March 18, 2025.
By fabricating and covalently assembling gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) porous microgels, a new class of granular hydrogel scaffolds with hierarchical porosity is developed. These scaffolds have a significantly higher void fraction than their counterparts made up of nonporous microgels, enhancing cell recruitment and tissue integration. This research may

PERKAT RV: first in vivo data of a novel right heart assist device [PDF]

EuroIntervention, 2018
Mechanical right ventricular (RV) support offers a treatment option for critically ill patients with RV failure (RVF). We developed an assist device for rapid percutaneous implantation. The aim of the present study was to investigate the implantation procedure, haemodynamic performance and possible side effects of the novel right ventricular assist ...

Hemostatic complications associated with ventricular assist devices

Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2019
Hemostatic complications are common in patients with ventricular assist devices. The pathophysiologic mechanisms that lead to dysregulated hemostasis involve complex interactions between device surface, sheer stress, and blood flow. These factors lead to
