Estudo experimental da aplicação do ventrículo artificial eletromecânico pulsátil implantável

Biocompatibility of Ricinus comunnis polymer compared to titanium implant used in artificial hearts. Experimental study in guinea pigs

“…The circulatory assist devices (CADs), recently became a key part of the therapeutic armamentarium in the treatment of cardiogenic shock and in maintaining circulatory support in patients with terminal heart failure [5,6]. The use of these devices has been indicated as a bridge to heart transplantation, as support for the recovery of the heart in acute myocardial infarction and post-cardiac surgery [7,8].…”

Surgical treatment of heart failure: a hot topic

“…There have been few clinical cases or experimental studies, despite the existence of large numbers of patients who would benefit from such therapy. [18][19][20][21][22][23][24] The main barriers against wider use of these devices are their high cost and the almost absolute dependence on products on the international market. 19 One of the principal characteristics of chronic heart failure is dilatation of the left ventricle, with progressive dilatation of the mitral ring and displacement of the papillary muscles.…”

Biocompatibilidade Do Polímero Da Mamona Comparada Ao Implante De Titânio Para Corações Artificiais. Estudo Experimental Em Cobaias

“…Os dispositivos de assistência circulatória (DACs), recentemente, tornaram-se parte fundamental do arsenal terapêutico no tratamento do choque cardiogênico e na manutenção do suporte circulatório de pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca terminal [5,6]. O emprego desses dispositivos tem sido indicado como ponte para o transplante cardíaco, como suporte para a recuperação do coração no infarto agudo do miocárdio e no pós-operatório de cirurgia cardíaca [7,8].…”
