Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation with Concomitant Aortic Valve and Ascending Aortic Replacement

Case Reports in Medicine, 2018
Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is nowadays a routine therapy for patients with advanced heart failure. We present the case of a 74-year-old male patient who was admitted to our center with terminal heart failure in dilated cardiomyopathy and ...

Phenotyping hemodynamic response to veno‐arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in cardiogenic shock

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 11, June 2026.
Abstract Simulation models suggest that veno‐arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) uniformly results in left ventricular (LV) distension in cardiogenic shock (CS). This study characterized the hemodynamic response to VA ECMO in animal models of CS, and in patients with CS.

Clinical psychological and neuropsychological issues with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs).

Annals of cardiothoracic surgery, 2014
Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are increasingly being used to treat patients in end-stage heart failure (HF) as bridge-to-transplantation, lifetime support or destination therapy. However, the importance of this newer technique for chronic cardiac support compared to heart transplantation is still open to discussion.

Outcomes following isolated right ventricular assist device as durable support for primary right heart failure: An INTERMACS analysis

JHLT Open
Outcomes with isolated right ventricular assist devices (iRVAD) using pumps designed for the left ventricle are not well described. This study compares the clinical characteristics and outcomes of iRVAD patients to those patients treated with left ...

Temporary mechanical circulatory support as a bridge to durable left ventricular assist device as destination therapy in fulminant giant cell myocarditis：A case report

Heliyon
Fulminant giant cell myocarditis is a fatal form of acute myocarditis leading to a rapid-onset clinical presentation with lethal arrhythmias, acute heart failure, or cardiogenic shock requiring mechanical circulatory support.

The Hemodynamic Study of Left Ventricular Assist Device

, 2007
本研究利用動物模型與資料收集系統，針對台大一號離心式葉輪幫浦進行流線型流場的改良，並探討左心室輔助器與心臟血管系統之間血液動力學的交互影響；經量測波形的時間校正，可瞭解心臟搏動的運作機制；從犬隻實驗中，可知葉輪幫浦的輸出血流，會受心臟搏動週期的影響而呈現脈動流場。 LVAD輸入導管可分別由心房和心尖置入的手術縫合方式，而由心尖置入的方式可得較佳的運轉效率。當幫浦轉速增加時，心臟輸出血流量及血壓值都會被驅動而上昇，而其血壓脈動波形（POP與ABP）之振幅則會明顯降低；當LVAD分流量高於70 ...

Design an Equivalent Left Ventricular Assist Device for Medical Equipment Labs

Journal of Biomedical Physics and Engineering, 2019
LVAD is a mechanical pump supporting a weak heart function and blood flow. Sometimes, the heart may not recover fast enough to take over the pumping action immediately after surgery, in such patients a temporary support device has been employed to ...
