Implantable Left Ventricular Assist Devices

New England Journal of Medicine, 1998
Congestive 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, 2012
Percutaneous 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 ...

Left ventricular assist devices

Heart, 2009
Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) insertion in patients with advanced heart failure with deteriorating clinical status is life saving, and LVADs are now being inserted into an increasing number of patients with advanced heart failure. They were initially inserted as a bridge to transplantation, and the decreased availability of donor hearts means ...

Implantable Left Ventricular Assist Devices

The Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing, 2005
The 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.

Left ventricular assist device inflow obstruction

Indian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2022
Inflow cannula obstruction is a rare complication of left ventricular assist device implantation. In this report, we present a case of inflow obstruction that was successfully treated with left ventricle myectomy and mitral valvectomy. Transesophageal echocardiogram was essential in diagnosing this condition.
