Left Ventricular Assist Device Outflow Graft Obstruction: A Case Series.

open access: yesASAIO journal (1992), 2020
Dysfunction of different components within continuous-flow (CF) left ventricular assist device (LVAD) systems may cause adverse cardiovascular and end-organ sequelae. Outflow graft obstruction is a recognized type of LVAD component dysfunction.

Use of Right Ventricular Assist Device Post-Left Ventricular Assist Device Placement

open access: yesHearts
Right heart failure (RHF) is a common manifestation after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) placement and is associated with a high mortality rate. Historically, RV failure requiring an RVAD at the time of LVAD implantation has been associated with ...

Cavopulmonary assist for the failing Fontan circulation: impact of ventricular function on mechanical support strategy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Mechanical circulatory support--either ventricular assist device (VAD, left-sided systemic support) or cavopulmonary assist device (CPAD, right-sided support)--has been suggested as treatment for Fontan failure.

Left ventricular assist devices: a kidney’s perspective [PDF]

open access: yesHeart Failure Reviews, 2015
The left ventricular assist device (LVAD) has become an established treatment option for patients with refractory heart failure. Many of these patients experience chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to chronic cardiorenal syndrome type II, which is often alleviated quickly following LVAD implantation.

Hyperkalemia in Patients With Left Ventricular Assist Devices

open access: yesCirculation Reports, 2021
Background: Both hypo- and hyperkalemia are associated with adverse events in heart failure patients. Their effects on patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) remains unknown. Methods and Results: The cohort included consecutive patients undergoing LVAD implantation between 2014 and 2018.

Optimal Hemodynamics During Left Ventricular Assist Device Support Are Associated With Reduced Readmission Rates

open access: yesCirculation: Heart Failure, 2019
Background: Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy improves the hemodynamics of advanced heart failure patients. However, it is unknown whether hemodynamic optimization improves clinical outcomes.
