The RECOVER I: A multicenter prospective study of Impella 5.0/LD for postcardiotomy circulatory support
2013, Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular SurgeryCitation Excerpt :No bleeding events were related to the device itself. The sepsis rate in our study was comparable to that observed in studies of patients in PCCS23 or CS requiring hemodynamic support.24 All sepsis events resolved with antibiotic treatment.
Circulatory assistance: Basic classification of heart assistance methods and devices
2011, Biocybernetics and Biomedical EngineeringCitation Excerpt :The main disadvantage of the rotary pumps is necessity of limiting their rotational speed because of stress and cavitation. When an extrasomatic or implanted support of the circulatory system is needed for recovery, a set of pulsatile-flow displacement assist devices usually associated with different type actuators: sac-type artificial ventricles (USA: Abiomed [5,6,8], Thoratec [17–19], Japan: Nippon-Zeon [20]), diaphragm artificial ventricles (Japan: Toyobo [21], Germany: Berlin Heart [22,23]), intra-aortic balloons [24–31] or pusher-plate type units [4,32] are available as a bridge to transplant or total artificial heart. Mechanical heart-assistance methods and devices, regarding the place of its connection to the circulatory system, can be divided into two groups:

2002, Annals of Thoracic SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Its effect is limited or not possible in patients with profound heart failure, tachyarrhythmia, small body weight, or right heart failure. Successful use of HeartMate VAD [4] and Thoratec VAD [5] for PCS has been reported. However, due to technical complexity, these VADs are not suitable for critical patients in emergencies.
