Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation leads to improvement in symptoms and survival in patients with advanced heart failure. An important factor in improving outcomes post-LVAD implantation is optimal preoperative patient selection and optimization. In this review, we highlight the latest ...
There appeared to be no benefit for the subgroup with the highest NT-proBNP (> 5314 pg/ml) and SGLT-2 inhibitor use was low, so benefit in combination with vericiguat is less clear in this population. Patients on long-acting nitrates, PDE-5 inhibitors, IV inotropes, and LVADs were ...
How to Heal a Broken Heart with Time and a Hybrid Mechanical Circulatory Support Armada Introduction Continuous flow VADs are used as left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) with an off-label option as right ventricular assist device (RVAD). The Berlin Heart EXCOR is a paracorporeal, pulsatile ...
Cost-effectiveness of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) for patients with advanced heart failure: Analysis of the British NHS bridge to transplant (B... A previous cost-effectiveness analysis showed that bridge to transplant (BTT) with early design left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) for...
(LVAD). The Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) guidelines suggest that patients should be treated within 12 hours [21], but there is no rationale to defer the intervention unless patient’s physiology is severely impaired and associated with an unacceptable risk of complications during the source ...
However, while LVADs can induce partial reverse remodeling of the left ventricle[5], this improvement is rarely sufficient to allow device removal, highlighting the need for adjunctive therapies[6]. Cell therapy has emerged as a promising approach to treating ischemic HF in the last 2 decades[7...
Data for left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) in patients with noninotrope-dependent heart failure (HF) are limited. The goal of this study was to evalu... Randall C. Starling MD, MPH a,Jerry D. Estep MD b,Douglas A. Horstmanshof MD c,... - 《Journal of the American College ...

66: Destination Therapy: Improving Outcomes with Continuous Flow LVADs All data was prospectively collected and no patient was lost to follow-up. A dedicated DT team provided focused patient selection, surgical implantation and management at each center. Results 93 consecutive patients (21% female) ...
The Jarvik-2000 is a non-pulsatile axial-flow left ventricular assist device (LVAD) that is largely used in patients who present in end-stage heart failure, as a bridge to transplant support or destination therapy. From its first utilization, several implantation techniques have been elaborated, ...
