A giant mystery in giant cell myocarditis: navigating diagnosis, immunosuppression, and mechanical circulatory support. [PDF]

, 2020
Giant cell myocarditis is a rare but often devastating diagnosis. Advances in cardiac imaging and mechanical circulatory support have led to earlier and more frequent diagnoses and successful management. This disease state has wide variation in acuity of

Changes in eligibility for a subcutaneous cardioverter-defibrillator after implantation of a left ventricular assist device-A prospective analysis.

PLoS ONE, 2023
BackgroundThe number of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) implanted in patients with end-stage heart failure is increasing. In this patient cohort, subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillators (S-ICDs) could be a promising alternative to ...

The impact of peripheral arterial disease on patients with mechanical circulatory support. [PDF]

, 2020
Background: Left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) are indicated as bridging or destination therapy for patients with advanced (Stage D) heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Due to the clustering of the mutual risk factors, HFrEF patients

Relationship between device acceptance and patient-reported outcomes in left ventricular assist device (LVAD) recipients [PDF]

, 2019
The number of Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVADs) implanted each year is rising. Nevertheless, there are minimal data on device acceptance after LVAD implant, and on its relationship with patient-reported outcomes. We designed a cross-sectional study

Association between early ventricular arrhythmias and mortality in destination vs. bridge patients on continuous flow LVAD support

Scientific Reports, 2021
The association between ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) and mortality in patients supported by continuous flow left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) remains controversial.

Patient-specific, echocardiography compatible flow loop model of aortic valve regurgitation in the setting of a mechanical assist device

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
BackgroundAortic regurgitation (AR) occurs commonly in patients with continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (LVAD). No gold standard is available to assess AR severity in this setting.

Mechanistic assessment and ablation of left ventricular assist device related ventricular tachycardia in patients with severe heart failure

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
Aims: Left-ventricular-assist-devices (lvad) are an established treatment for patients with severe heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HF) and reduce mortality.

Validation of the VT‐LVAD score for prediction of late VAs in LVAD recipients [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2020
AbstractObjectivesThis study sought to validate the performance of the VT‐LVAD risk model in predicting late ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) in patients after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation.BackgroundThe need for implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD)‐implantation in LVAD recipients is not well studied. A better selection of the

Ex-vivo recruitment and x-ray assessment of donor lungs in a challenging retrieval from a donor supported by lvad using the portable normothermic perfusion system: A case report [PDF]

, 2017
Lung transplantation (LTx) is limited by the shortage of suitable donors. To overcome this problem, many programs have begun to use donors with extended criteria (marginal donors).
