Immunocompetent cells in durable ventricular assist device-implanted non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
OBJECTIVE: Because the presence of immunocompetent cells in the myocardium is associated with the pathological stage and/or myocardial viability, we explored relationships between functional recovery after left ventricular assist device implantation and ...

Left ventricular assist devices [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Intensive Care Society, 2020
Background There is a growing population of patients in the UK with advanced heart failure who are receiving a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) as a bridge to transplant. This is due to the plateauing number of heart transplantations and the increasing evidence of the effectiveness of these devices.

Outflow graft obstruction after left ventricular assist device implantation: a retrospective, single‐centre case series

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, 2021
Outflow graft obstruction is a poorly described complication following left ventricular assist device (LVAD) surgery. We sought to define the incidence of LVAD outflow graft obstruction and assess clinical outcomes with a percutaneous treatment strategy.

Left Ventricular Assist Device Support Complicates the Exercise Physiology of Oxygen Transport and Uptake in Heart Failure

open access: yesCardiac Failure Review, 2019
Low-output forward flow and impaired maximal exercise oxygen uptake (VO2 max) are hallmarks of patients in advanced heart failure. The continuous-flow left ventricular assist device is a cutting-edge therapy proven to increase forward flow, yet this ...
