Perioperative Management of Severe Acquired Coagulopathy in Patients with Left Ventricular Assist Device—a Literature Review and Expert Recommendations [PDF]

, 2021
Purpose of This Review The implantation of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is associated with high hemorrhage-related re-exploration rates. Improved management of coagulopathy may improve patient outcome.

Percutaneous Intervention in External Outflow Graft Obstruction of Magnetically Levitated Left Ventricular Assist Device: Long‐Term Follow‐Up and Quality of Life

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
eOGO is an uncommon adverse event in patients on long‐term LVAD support. Thirty‐one eOGO patients were identified in a single‐centre HM3 implantation program. Twenty patients underwent percutaneous stenting. This treatment resulted in immediate LVAD flow improvement and yielded satisfactory quality‐of‐life results, with 62.5% patients assigned a fair ...

Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm as a complication of LVAD explant

Radiology Case Reports
Left ventricular (LV) pseudoaneurysms are a rare disease entity associated with a multitude of etiologies. We describe the radiographic findings of an LV pseudoaneurysm arising as a complication of a leaking left ventricular assist device (LVAD) closure ...

Comparison of Intraoperative Doppler Flow Measurements and Algorithmic Flow Estimations in Patients Undergoing Durable Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Direct intraoperative HeartMate 3 LVAD flow measurements using an ultrasonic probe revealed consistently higher values by approximately 0.5 L/min compared to device‐estimated flows. This discrepancy remained stable across pump speed settings, highlighting the importance of distinguishing measured from estimated flow in HeartMate 3 patients.

Advances in Cardiopulmonary Life-Support Change the Meaning of What It Means to be Resuscitated

Palliative Medicine Reports, 2020
As options for advanced cardiopulmonary support proliferate, the use of mechanical circulatory support, such as left ventricular assist device as destination therapy (LVAD-DT), is becoming increasingly commonplace.

Severe hypoxaemia with a left ventricular assist device in a minipig model with an undiagnosed congenital cardiac disease

, 2012
We describe the placement of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) in a pig with spontaneously occurring atrial septal defect (ASD) (incidental finding) that created a right-left cardiac shunt, with subsequent severe hypoxaemia.

Comparison of a Miniaturized Implantable Two‐Stage Rotodynamic Blood Pump to Equivalent Single‐Stage Concepts

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
This study aims to evaluate the potential of a multistage pump design to enhance hemocompatibility in left ventricular assist devices. We found that the two‐stage concept offers favorable hemolysis measures compared to single‐stage designs, as the reduction in peak shear stresses outweighs the disadvantage associated with prolonged residence time ...
