Implantation of a Left Ventricular Assist Device for Danon Cardiomyopathy [PDF]

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2017
This is the first report of Danon cardiomyopathy managed with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD). Danon disease is an X-linked dominant inheritance disorder. Heart failure with Danon cardiomyopathy results in a poor prognosis, and heart transplantation is the treatment of choice. We present two cases of successful implantation of an LVAD for Danon

Implantation of the Thoratec Ventricular Assist Device [PDF]

Operative Techniques in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2002
months of mechanical ventricular support, allowing removal of the VAD. 2 Long-term studies of patients with the Thoratec VAD who recovered and were weaned from the device showed that 1- and 5-year survival rates were essentially identical to VAD patients who received a heart transplant.

Electromagnetic Interference from Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) Inhibiting the Pacing Function of an Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD) Device

Case Reports in Cardiology, 2018
There is an increasing prevalence of patients with concomitant implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) and left ventricular devices (LVADs). The potential for negative interactions between these continually evolving technologies is a valid concern.

Alterations in implantable cardioverter defibrillator lead parameters following left ventricular assist device implantation

JHLT Open
Background: Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are increasingly used in the management of advanced heart failure. The majority of these patients have pre-existing implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs).

Preoperative Computed Tomography Virtual Simulation for HeartMate 3 Implantation in Small Children

Annals of Thoracic Surgery Short Reports
An implantable ventricular assist device became smaller and has been used for small body size patients. However, it is still challenging to determine whether it is implantable for pediatric patients.
