Use of Right Ventricular Assist Device Post-Left Ventricular Assist Device Placement

Hearts
Right heart failure (RHF) is a common manifestation after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) placement and is associated with a high mortality rate. Historically, RV failure requiring an RVAD at the time of LVAD implantation has been associated with ...

Targeted myocardial gene expression in failing hearts by RNA sequencing

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2016
Background Myocardial recovery with left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy is highly variable and difficult to predict. Next generation ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing is an innovative, rapid, and quantitative approach to gene expression ...

Left ventricular assist device percutaneous deactivation with a Watchman device

, 2021
International audienceMyocardial recovery in left ventricular assist device patients is a rare event. Surgical explantation remains a risky and challenging procedure. Alternative percutaneous techniques could represent an effective solution.

Successful bridge to recovery in fulminant myocarditis using a biventricular assist device: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2017
Background Fulminant myocarditis is a life-threatening disease, and myocardial damage expands the right ventricle as well as the left ventricle in some cases.

The cost-effectiveness of left ventricular assist devices in end stage heart failure

, 2008
With a limited supply of donor hearts, individuals with end-stage heart failure have been offered hope through the use of mechanical devices. Left ventricular-assist devices (LVADs) are a technology designed to work in parallel with the heart but have ...

Multilayer Impedance Pump: A Bio-Inspired Valveless Pump with Medical Applications [PDF]

, 2007
This thesis introduces the concept of multilayer impedance pump, a novel pumping mechanism inspired from the embryonic heart structure. The multilayer impedance pump is a composite two-layer fluid-filled elastic tube featuring a thick, gelatin-like ...

Design and characteristics of the prophylactic intra‐operative ventricular arrhythmia ablation in high‐risk LVAD candidates (PIVATAL) trial

Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, 2023
Background The use of a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) in patients with advanced heart failure refractory to optimal medical management has progressed steadily over the past two decades. Data have demonstrated reduced LVAD efficacy, worse clinical

Case report: Facilitating right heart recovery after durable LVAD implantation through repair of atrioventricular valves and RVAD implantation using tunneled Dacron grafts

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Right ventricular assist device (RVAD) weaning is often an important goal for durable left ventricular assist device support. This may be facilitated by mitral and tricuspid repair as well as by minimizing the trauma of RVAD decannulation by using Dacron

Mechanical recovery plug for left ventricular assist device explantation

, 2022
Myocardial recovery occurs in approximately 5% of left ventricular assist device recipients. In selected patients, it is possible to electively perform left ventricular assist device explantation after accurate myocardial function recovery assessment ...
