Intravenous administration of umbilical cord lining stem cells in left ventricular assist device recpieint: Rational and design of the uSTOP LVAD BLEED pilot study

American Heart Journal Plus, 2022
Background: Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation provides a robust survival advantage, however despite improvements in mortality, the adverse event burden of durable mechanical circulatory support remains high.

Medical Management of Patients With a Left Ventricular Assist Device for the Non-Left Ventricular Assist Device Specialist

JACC: Heart Failure, 2017
More than 2,400 continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are implanted each year in the United States alone. Both the number of patients living with LVADs and the life expectancy of these patients are increasing. As a result, patients with LVADs are increasingly encountered by non-LVAD specialists who do not have training in managing ...

Left ventricular-assist device arrest: total thrombosis of a continuous flow left ventricular-assist device [PDF]

European Heart Journal – Cardiovascular Imaging, 2015
A 46-year-old man with a continuous flow left ventricular-assist device implanted as destination therapy 2 years ago (CF-LVAD; HeartMate II, Thoratec Corporation, Pleasanton, CA, USA) presented with syncope, low flow device alarms, and several brief device stoppage events.

Bayesian Inference of Individualized Treatment Effects using Multi-task Gaussian Processes [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Predicated on the increasing abundance of electronic health records, we investi- gate the problem of inferring individualized treatment effects using observational data. Stemming from the potential outcomes model, we propose a novel multi- task learning framework in which factual and counterfactual outcomes are mod- eled as the outputs of a function in

Surgical Outcomes of Centrifugal Continuous-Flow Implantable Left Ventricular Assist Devices: Heartmate 3 versus Heartware Ventricular Assist Device

Journal of Chest Surgery
Background: Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are widely employed as a therapeutic option for end-stage heart failure. We evaluated the outcomes associated with centrifugal- flow LVAD implantation, comparing 2 device models: the Heartmate 3 (HM3)

Semi-supervised Cardiac Image Segmentation via Label Propagation and Style Transfer [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Accurate segmentation of cardiac structures can assist doctors to diagnose diseases, and to improve treatment planning, which is highly demanded in the clinical practice. However, the shortage of annotation and the variance of the data among different vendors and medical centers restrict the performance of advanced deep learning methods.

Choosing Between Left Ventricular Assist Devices and Biventricular Assist Devices

Cardiac Failure Review, 2019
Right ventricular failure following left ventricular assist devices implantation is a serious complication associated with high mortality. In patients with or at high risk of developing right ventricular failure, biventricular support is recommended. Because univentricular support is associated with high survival rates, biventricular support is often ...

On in-silico estimation of left ventricular end-diastolic pressure from cardiac strains [PDF]

2024 46th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC), pp. 1-4
Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is a group of diseases that adversely affect the passive phase of the cardiac cycle and can lead to heart failure. While left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) is a valuable prognostic measure in LVDD patients, traditional invasive methods of measuring LVEDP present risks and limitations ...

Impact of preoperative versus postoperative dialysis on left ventricular assist device outcomes: An analysis from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support databaseCentral MessagePerspective

JTCVS Open, 2022
Objective: Chronic kidney disease and renal failure are common in patients being considered for left ventricular assist device support. We sought to evaluate the outcomes of patients undergoing left ventricular assist device implantation with ...
