This technical report describes the essentials and practical implantation technique of the completely percutaneous PulseCath iVAC 2L left ventricular assist device.
Percutaneously inserted mechanical left ventricular assist devices are used for circulatory support during cardiogenic shock or high-risk percutaneous coronary interventions. The PulseCath concept is a novel pulsatile design that consists of an extracorporeal membrane pump connected to a large-bore catheter which is inserted across the aortic valve retrogradely into the left ventricle. A genuine intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) console drives the pulsatile pump.
The percutaneous PulseCath iVAC 2L is driven by a genuine IABP console and provides more left ventricular support.
本技术报告描述了完全经皮PulseCath iVAC 2L左心室辅助装置的要点及实际植入技术。
经皮插入的机械左心室辅助装置用于心源性休克或高风险经皮冠状动脉介入治疗期间的循环支持。PulseCath概念是一种新颖的搏动性设计,由一个体外膜泵连接到一个大口径导管组成,该导管经主动脉瓣逆行插入左心室。一个真正的主动脉内球囊泵(IABP)控制台驱动搏动泵。
经皮PulseCath iVAC 2L由一个真正的IABP控制台驱动,并提供更多的左心室支持。
