Neuro ResusVAD & transplanted patient with non-cardiac critical illnessUse of Ventricular Assist Devices (VAD) and heart transplantation (HT) for end stage cardiac failure have increased significantly in recent decades. These support strategies hold inherently different risks in the face on non-cardiac critical illness, and require multidisciplinary team management. According to INTERMACS, more than 2500 VADs/year are implanted the USA. Most implanted devices are continuous flow left-VADs (75%) which deliver systemic cardiac output directly related to pump speed and inversely related to pressure gradient across the pump. Improved survivorship has resulted in increasing outpatient management, however 12-month mortality is 12%, and 1/4 of patients within 1-year post-transplant. Systemic illnesses may a...2018-09-1918 min
Medizin - Open Access LMU - Teil 21/22Ten-Year Results of a Randomized Trial Comparing Tacrolimus Versus Cyclosporine A in Combination With Mycophenolate Mofetil After Heart TransplantationBackground. Long-term results of prospective randomized trials comparing triple immunosuppressive strategies combining tacrolimus (TAC) or cyclosporine A (CsA) with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and steroids after heart transplantation (HTX) are rarely published. Therefore, we collected long-term follow-up data of an intervention cohort 10 years after randomization. Methods. Ten-year follow-up data of 60 patients included in a prospective, randomized trial between 1998 and 2000 were analyzed as intention-to-treat (TAC-MMF n=30; CsA-MMF n=30). Baseline characteristics were well balanced. Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) was graduated in accordance with the new ISHLT classification. Results. Survival at 1, 5, and 10 years was 96.7%, 80.0%, and 66.7% for TAC-MMF and 90.0%, 83.3%, and 80.0% for CsA-MMF (P=ns). Freedom...2013-02-0100 min
