Geometry‐Related Technical Complications After LVAD Implantation: Impact on Device Dysfunction and Clinical Outcomes

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Preventable geometric failure modes, such as outflow graft kinking and inflow malposition, frequently cause HeartMate 3 dysfunction. This study identifies these complications as key drivers of device‐related morbidity, highlighting the importance of optimized surgical positioning to ensure long‐term device performance and improved clinical outcomes ...

Monitoring Mitochondrial Function With High‐Resolution Respirometry During Ex‐Situ Heart Perfusion

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Normothermic ESHP preserves mitochondrial respiratory function over 6 h in a porcine model (n = 6): OXPHOS capacities across NADH‐, fatty‐acid‐, and succinate‐linked pathways remain stable, with reduced cytochrome‐c control efficiency indicating improved outer‐membrane integrity. HRR provides a rapid, actionable readout for organ assessment.

Efficacy of Antimicrobial Silver‐Plated Dressings Compared to Usual Care in Preventing Left Ventricular Assist Device Driveline Infections

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Integrating silver‐plated wound dressings into DLES care presents a safe and effective strategy for DLI prevention. Key findings include a 100% infection‐free rate in the Silverlon group, no NPWT and hospital readmission in the Silverlon group, and no severe DESTINE stages (3, 4) in the Silverlon group.

SURGELLA: A Scoping Review of Impella‐Assisted Hemodynamic Support in High‐Risk Non‐Cardiac Surgery

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
In selected patients with severe LV dysfunction, Impella‐supported non‐cardiac surgery may provide a temporary hemodynamic bridge to otherwise prohibitive procedures. Published evidence remains limited to a small number of highly selected cases, supporting technical feasibility rather than comparative benefit or generalizable safety.

Experimental Extracorporeal Circulation System: A Pilot Study in Rats

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
A miniature extracorporeal circulation (ECC) system was developed for reproducible rodent studies. This system incorporates an integrated heat exchanger and a silicone membrane oxygenator within a double‐lumen circuit, resulting in an ultralow priming volume of < 1.5 mL.

Progress Toward a Portable Artificial Lung: A Systematic Review

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Eight portable respiratory assist devices were identified. The CE‐marked MobyBox and the FDA‐approved Breethe OXY‐1 system are in clinical use. Each device is substantially minimized to allow ambulation, but further work is required to address challenges related to anticoagulant management and safe mobilization. Created in BioRender.

Predicting Device‐Induced Platelet Damage in Assisted Circulation Using a New Biophysical Model and Experimental Validation

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Quantitative assessment of a newly proposed CFD‐based biophysical model for predicting device‐induced platelet damage by circulatory assist devices was performed. The new model preserved the relative trends observed previously with the power‐law formulation across a range of clinically relevant pump operating conditions, while demonstrating improved ...

Prevention and Management of Driveline Infections in Ventricular Assist Device Patients: The DESTINE 2.0 Staging Proposal and Expert Recommendations

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
DESTINE 2.0 decision flowchart: stage‐based assessment and management of driveline exit‐site disorders. The flowchart provides a simplified decision‐support tool for the stage‐based evaluation and management of driveline exit‐site disorders in LVAD patients, intended as a practical complement to the staging pyramid (Figre 2) and the detailed staging ...

Multiscale Modeling of a Geometrically Tunable Shunt for Growing Pediatric Patients With Single Ventricle Physiology

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Here we investigated the development of a geometrically tunable blood for patients with single ventricle physiology. Two multiscale cardiovascular models were customized and implemented at timepoints spanning across the beginning and end of the shunt‐use period.

Temporary Right Ventricular Mechanical Circulatory Support Devices in Acute Right Ventricular Failure and Cardiogenic Shock: A Cross‐Device Systematic Review and Single‐Arm Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Among selected patients receiving temporary right ventricular support, pooled survival to discharge was 60.4%, and separately pooled successful weaning was 60.6%. These descriptive estimates from 106 heterogeneous observational studies, predominantly involving concurrent left‐sided or biventricular support, cannot establish treatment benefit or ...
