Abstract

A ventricular assist device (VAD) is a mechanical pump used to support heart function and blood flow in people who have weakened hearts. For selected patients who are too ill to wait for a heart transplant or are not eligible for a heart transplant because of age or other medical problems, ventricular assist devices offer life-saving therapy. This device has also become a life-saving approach for patients with acute viral myocarditis. Following the acute illness phase, when heart function has improved, the VAD is carefully removed. It is very important to continuously monitor myocardial functions during this period. In this paper, we present a case that was monitored with cardiac output and transesophageal echocardiog- raphy during the VAD removal operation.

Özet

Ventriküler asist device (VAD) kalp işlevleri zayıf hastalarda, kalp ve kan akımına destek sağlayan bir mekanik pompadır. Bu cihaz, donör bekleyemeyecek kadar hasta olan ya da ileri yaş veya diğer sağlık problemleri nedeniyle transplantasyona uygun olmayan hastalarda hayat kurtarıcı bir tedavidir. Aynı zamanda VAD, akut viral miyokardit hastalarında da hayat kurtarıcı bir yaklaşımdır. Akut hastalık dönemini takiben kalp işlevleri iyileşirse VAD dikkatlice çıkarılır. Bu dönemde kalp işlevlerinin devamlı izlenmesi oldukça önemlidir. Biz bu yazıda VAD cihazının çıkarılması girişiminde kalp debisi ve transözofageal ekokardiyografi monitörizasyonu yapılan bir olguyu sunduk.
