Journal ArticleDOI
Berlin Heart EXCOR Pediatric Ventricular Assist Device for Bridge to Heart Transplantation in US Children
Christopher S. Almond,David L.S. Morales,Eugene H. Blackstone,Mark Turrentine,Michiaki Imamura,M. Patricia Massicotte,Lori C. Jordan,Eric J. Devaney,Chitra Ravishankar,Kirk R. Kanter,William L. Holman,Robert Kroslowitz,Christine Tjossem,Lucy Thuita,Gordon A. Cohen,Holger Buchholz,James D. St. Louis,Khanh Nguyen,Robert A. Niebler,Henry L. Walters,Brian Reemtsen,Peter D. Wearden,Olaf Reinhartz,Kristine J. Guleserian,Max B. Mitchell,Mark S. Bleiweis,Charles E. Canter,Tilman Humpl +27 more
TL;DR: Smaller patient size, renal dysfunction, hepatic dysfunction, and biventricular assist device use were associated with mortality, whereas extracorporeal membrane oxygenation before implantation and congenital heart disease were not.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bridging children of all sizes to cardiac transplantation: The initial multicenter North American experience with the Berlin Heart EXCOR ventricular assist device
David L.S. Morales,Christopher S. Almond,Robert D.B. Jaquiss,David N. Rosenthal,David C. Naftel,M. Patricia Massicotte,Tilman Humpl,Mark W. Turrentine,James S. Tweddell,Gordon A. Cohen,Robert Kroslowitz,Eric J. Devaney,Charles E. Canter,Francis Fynn-Thompson,Olaf Reinhartz,Michiaki Imamura,Nancy S. Ghanayem,Holger Buchholz,Sarah Furness,Robert Mazor,Sanjiv K. Gandhi,Charles D. Fraser +21 more
TL;DR: This limited but large preliminary North American experience with the Berlin Heart EXCOR VAD as a bridge to cardiac transplantation for children of all ages and sizes points to the feasibility of this approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vocal cord dysfunction and feeding difficulties after pediatric cardiovascular surgery.
Ritu Sachdeva,Elora Hussain,Michele Moss,Michael L. Schmitz,Richard M. Ray,Michiaki Imamura,Robert D.B. Jaquiss +6 more
TL;DR: Vocal cord dysfunction after pediatric cardiovascular surgery is associated with significant feeding problems and may require prolonged gastrostomy feeding, and these findings support aggressive surveillance for vocal cord dysfunction, especially in patients undergoing aortic arch surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outcomes after extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) following refractory pediatric cardiac arrest in the intensive care unit.
Parthak Prodhan,Richard T. Fiser,Umesh Dyamenahalli,Jeffrey M. Gossett,Michiaki Imamura,Robert D.B. Jaquiss,Adnan T. Bhutta +6 more
TL;DR: ECPR can be used successfully to resuscitate children following refractory cardiac arrest in the ICU, and grossly intact neurologic outcomes can be achieved in a majority of cases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bridge to cardiac transplant in children: Berlin Heart versus extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
Michiaki Imamura,Amy M. Dossey,Parthak Prodhan,Michael L. Schmitz,Elizabeth A. Frazier,Umesh Dyamenahalli,Adnan T. Bhutta,W. Robert Morrow,Robert D.B. Jaquiss +8 more
TL;DR: In children requiring BTT, EXCOR provided substantially longer support times than ECMO, without significant increase in the rates of stroke or multisystem organ failure.
