Implantable Left Ventricular Assist Devices
New England Journal of Medicine, 1998Congestive heart failure affects about 1 percent of adults in the United States1 and is a contributing factor in over 250,000 deaths annually.2 It is diagnosed in 400,000 Americans each year3 and is the primary diagnosis for over 900,000 hospitalizations per year.4 In 1990 the age-adjusted death rate from congestive heart failure was 106.4 per 100,000 ...

Percutaneous Left Ventricular Assist Devices
Interventional Cardiology Clinics, 2012Percutaneous left ventricular assist devices (P-LVADs) can be life saving and may permit the stabilization of a patient in cardiovascular collapse who would otherwise face imminent demise. For specific patients and clinical indications, or where a greater degree of hemodynamic support is required, numerous studies have demonstrated the feasibility and ...

An Extravascular Left Ventricular Assist Device
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1976The hemodynamic efficacy and prosthesis-vessel interaction of a pneumatically activated circulatory assist device was investigated in 12 acute and 12 chronic studies in dogs. A polyurethane balloon encased in Dacron-velour cloth was fastened to the descending thoracic aorta with a spiral wrapping of Dacron graft material.

Implantable Left Ventricular Assist Devices
The Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing, 2005The 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.

The left ventricular assist device.
The American journal of nursing, 2003Of the 400,000 people in the United States who develop end-stage heart failure each year, 60,000 are unresponsive to medical therapy and 2,500 undergo heart transplantation. Surgically implanted pumps, called LVADs, are extending many lives.

Left Ventricular Assist Device.
Surgical technology internationalLeft ventricular assist device (LVADs) have been used with increasing frequency since the late 1980s. Technology has improved these devices to make them less thrombogenic and has decreased their size to allow greater application. By definition, the LVAD only assists or supports the pumping function of the left ventricle, unlike cardiopulmonary bypass ...

Left Ventricular Assist Devices
2016The therapy regimen of acute and chronic heart failure consists of medical therapy, causal cardiac surgery and, as ultima ratio, heart transplantation or mechanical circulatory support (MCS). MCS comprises diverse technologies for short- and long-term hemodynamic support.
