  2. Ventricular assist device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_assist_device

    The LVAD is the most common device applied to a defective heart (it is sufficient in most cases; the right side of the heart is then often able to make use of the heavily increased blood flow), but when the pulmonary arterial resistance is high, then an (additional) right ventricular assist device (RVAD) might be necessary to resolve the ...

    The HeartAssist5 is a modern version of the DeBakey VAD [10] and as of December 2014 was the only remotely monitored medical device in the world. [8] It was first approved for use in Europe in 2009 under MicroMed Cardiovascular, Inc. [11] The HeartAssist5 is in use in Europe [10] as a destination therapy by patients who are not candidates to receive heart transplants and as a bridge to ...

    Berlin Heart GmbH is a German company that develops, produces and markets ventricular assist devices (VADs). The devices mechanically support the hearts of patients with end-stage heart failure. Berlin Heart's products include the implantable INCOR VAD and the paracorporeal EXCOR VAD. To date, Berlin Heart produces the only device of its kind ...

    With the 2001 Thermo Cardiosystems merger, Thoratec acquired the HeartMate Left Ventricular Assist System, an implanted VAD for end-stage heart patients. A landmark three-year study of 129 patients at 22 major medical centers, called REMATCH (Randomized Evaluation of Mechanical Assistance for the Treatment of Congestive Heart Failure) and published in November 2001, found that the HeartMate VE ...

  6. Impella - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impella

    The Impella device is an alternative for percutaneous mechanical circulatory support that has been utilized as a bridge to recovery. Used alone or in tandem sets, it utilizes the concept of magnetic levitation [clarification needed] to reduce moving parts to an absolute minimum, thus reducing anticoagulation requirements.

  7. Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implantable_cardioverter...

    More modern devices have software designed to attempt a discrimination between ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia (VT), and may try to pace the heart faster than its intrinsic rate in the case of VT, to try to break the tachycardia before it progresses to ventricular fibrillation. This is known as overdrive pacing, or anti ...

  8. Artificial heart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_heart

    An artificial heart is a device that replaces the heart.Artificial hearts are typically used as a bridge to heart transplantation, but ongoing research aims to develop a device that could permanently replace the heart when a transplant—whether from a deceased human or, experimentally, from a genetically engineered pig—is unavailable or not viable.
