Ventricular Assist Devices as a Bridge to Transplant or Recovery
Cardiology, 2004Ventricular assist devices have emerged as the standard of care in treating end-stage heart failure. Their success in bridging patients to transplantation is well documented. The data supporting their ability to bridge patients to recovery is sparser. However, as technology continues to advance, these devices will offer a high quality of life both in ...

MitraClip and mitral annuloplasty device as a bridge to transplantation
Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, 2017A 42-year-old man with dilated cardiomyopathy and endstage heart failure was evaluated for heart transplantation. He received a MitraClip and Carillon annuloplasty device for functional mitral regurgitation as palliation for his heart failure. Subsequently, he underwent successful heart transplantation.

The Ventricular Assist Device as a Bridge to Cardiac Transplantation
AACN Clinical Issues: Advanced Practice in Acute and Critical Care, 1999Congestive heart failure is occurring in the United States at an increasing rate. Transplantation remains the treatment of choice for end-stage heart failure. Prolonged waiting time and decreased availability of suitable organs has increased the necessity for a device to act as a bridge to transplantation to keep patients alive during the waiting ...

[Heart transplantation and assist devices].
Herz, 2005Although drug therapy of patients with chronic heart failure has improved significantly over the years, mortality still remains high. At present, heart transplantation is the gold standard therapy for patients with end stage heart disease. Due to the limited number of organs, a growing number of patients require the implantation of mechanical assist ...

Cardiac Assist Devices as a Bridge to Cardiac Transplant
AACN Advanced Critical Care, 1991The number of heart transplants being performed in the United States over the last decade has increased significantly. The supply of human donor hearts has not kept up with the demand. This situation has led to the development of means to support patient’s cardiac function until a human donor heart can be obtained.

Mechanical Assist Devices and Heart Transplantation
2020Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the myocardium, due to several causes, often underdiagnosed, and it may be responsible for acute (or even fulminant) or chronic heart failure. In this scenario, the first aim of the cardiac surgeon becomes saving the patients’ life (“bridge to life”), obtaining their clinical stabilization, and allowing ...

A Conformational Anastomotic Device for Heart Transplantation
The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation, 2019Purpose Automated donor to recipient anastomosis has the potential to reduce procedural & ischemic times . A major impediment to automated anastomosis is creating the hemostatic end to end anastomosis without luminal compromise. We present our design of a conformational felt sandwich anastomotic device.

Cardiac transplantation and ventricular assist devices
Medicine, 2010Abstract Achieving 85% hospital discharge and 50% 10-year survival cardiac transplantation has proven benefit for terminally ill patients (Status I) with refractory heart failure. Randomized clinical trials are needed to assess benefit for ambulatory (Status II) patients.

Device for the mechanization of corneal transplants
2011There are millions of patients in the developing world who would benefit from corneal transplant surgery. Unfortunately, these patients do not always have access to either skilled ophthalmologists or the technology needed for the procedure. While there are tools to efficiently punch out both the diseased and donor corneas, there are no devices to ...
