Case report: Facilitating right heart recovery after durable LVAD implantation through repair of atrioventricular valves and RVAD implantation using tunneled Dacron grafts

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Right ventricular assist device (RVAD) weaning is often an important goal for durable left ventricular assist device support. This may be facilitated by mitral and tricuspid repair as well as by minimizing the trauma of RVAD decannulation by using Dacron

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]

, 2017
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).

Endocarditis in left ventricular assist device

Intractable & Rare Diseases Research, 2016
Heart failure is one of the leading causes of death in developed nations. End stage heart failure often requires cardiac transplantation for survival. The left ventricular assist device (LVAD) has been one of the biggest evolvements in heart failure management often serving as bridge to transplant or destination therapy in advanced heart failure.

Ventricular Arrhythmias After Left Ventricular Assist Device [PDF]

Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, 2013
Despite advances in medical therapy, heart failure remains one of the major causes of hospitalizations and deaths in the United States. Approximately 5.7 million patients have heart failure, and it is the direct cause of death for 57 000 individuals annually.1 Although the combination of optimal medical therapy, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (
