Abstract

Implantable left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are being used to support patients for longer periods because of longer transplant waiting times and the application of LVADs for destination therapy. With longer implant times comes LVAD exchange for component failure or serious device-related infection that cannot be treated medically. LVAD exchange should be performed promptly and planned in accordance with the patient's condition, the type of device previously implanted, and the type used for exchange, as well as whether total system or individual component replacement is required. Most patients who experience pump failure after extended support are in good condition. Preoperatively, patients must be stabilized using standard inotropic and vasoactive medications and undergo a complete workup, including echocardiography. Coagulation abnormalities should be corrected preoperatively. Intraoperatively, continuous transesophageal echocardiography and standard hemodynamic monitoring should be utilized. After opening the chest, LVAD support should be minimized to prevent air entry. Detailed descriptions of the following exchange procedures are presented: Jarvik 2000 to Jarvik 2000, HeartMate (VE or XVE) to HeartMate (VE or XVE), ...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.

Artificial Heart & Ventricular Assist Devices

Total artificial hearts (TAH) and ventricular assist devices (VADs) provide cardiac support for patients with end-stage heart disease and have significantly improved the survival of these patients. Discover the latest research on Artificial Heart and Ventricular Assist Devices here.
