Diaphragmatic implantation of the HeartWare ventricular assist device

The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation, 2011
The HeartWare (HeartWare Inc., Framingham, MA) ventricular assist device (HVAD) is designed to be implanted with the pump in the pericardial space and its integrally attached inflow cannula in the left ventricle. The uniquely incorporated inflow cannula was originally designed to be inserted into the diaphragmatic surface of the heart, allowing the ...

Implantable Left Ventricular Assist Devices

The Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing, 2005
The first bridge to transplant with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) was preformed over 20 years ago. Since that time, the devices have continued to evolve and now patients are being supported with devices as an alternative to transplantation.

Development of Implantable Right Ventricular Assist Device

ASAIO Journal, 2004
Implantable ventricular assist devices (VADs) are indicated for long waiting periods before transplantation and also as a destination therapy. Meanwhile, right ventricular failure (RVF) is one of the four major complications observed in patients after left VAD (LVAD) implantation, with an incidence of approximately 20%.

Suicide after ventricular assist device implantation

The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation, 2010
Depression and anxiety are well documented in patients with end-stage heart failure and correlate with a higher risk of suicide. We report a 69-year-old depressed patient who committed suicide by disconnecting the driveline of his left ventricular assist device almost 3 years after implantation.

Totally implantable intrathoracic ventricular assist device

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1996
A totally implantable, intrathoracic electrohydraulic ventricular assist device (EVAD) is being developed for permanent use or as a bridge to transplantation.The blood pump with 70-mL nominal stroke volume, volume displacement chamber, reversible turbine, internal electronics and infrared diaphragm position sensor are combined in one compact unit ...

Exchange Techniques for Implantable Ventricular Assist Devices

ASAIO Journal, 2008
Implantable left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are being used to support patients for longer periods because of longer transplant waiting times and the application of LVADs for destination therapy. With longer implant times comes LVAD exchange for component failure or serious device-related infection that cannot be treated medically. LVAD exchange

Implantation of a Berlin Heart Ventricular Assist Device

Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery: Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Annual, 2011
Until recently the only mode of mechanical circulatory support available in North America for use as bridge to cardiac transplantation in small children was extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation. However, since 2005 the Berlin Heart pediatric ventricular assist device has been increasingly widely used for both biventricular and left ventricular support.

Valvular Procedures During Ventricular Assist Device Implantation

Transplantation Proceedings, 2012
Increased experience and success with ventricular assist devices (VAD) has permitted more aggressive use in patients formerly believed to be inappropriate for mechanical circulatory support (MCS). There is no clearly proven policy to manage end-stage heart failure patients with valvular pathologies. The aim of this report was to analysis our experience

Implantation of the HeartWare Left Ventricular Assist Device

Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2011
Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are the treatment of choice for advanced heart failure that is refractory to medical therapy for both Bridge to Transplantation and Destination Therapy in appropriately selected patients. The newer continuous flow LVADs are more reliable and durable and have resulted in significant size reduction compared to ...

[Implantable ventricular assist device].

Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery, 2015
Implantable ventricular assist device( VAD) is the only evidence-based option to treat stage D heart failure patients with significant symptoms at rest in spite of maximum medical therapy, other than heart transplant. Implantable VADs available in Japan include Evaheart, DuraHeart both from Japan, Jarvik 2000 and HeartMate II both from United States ...
