Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction of Cardiac Stability After Weaning From Left Ventricular Assist Devices in Patients With Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Michael Dandel,Yuguo Weng,Henryk Siniawski,Evgenij V. Potapov,Thorsten Drews,Hans B. Lehmkuhl,Christoph Knosalla,Roland Hetzer +7 more
TL;DR: Pre-explantationleft ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular end diastolic diameter and relative wall thicknesses, stability of unloading-induced cardiac recovery, duration of left VAD support, and HF duration beforeleft VAD insertion allow identification of patients able to remain stable for >5 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transapical aortic valve implantation: incidence and predictors of paravalvular leakage and transvalvular regurgitation in a series of 358 patients.
Axel Unbehaun,Miralem Pasic,Stephan Dreysse,Thorsten Drews,Marian Kukucka,Alexander Mladenow,Ekaterina Ivanitskaja-Kühn,Roland Hetzer,Semih Buz +8 more
TL;DR: The modified procedural strategy of transapical TAVI with a balloon-expandable prosthesis was associated with a low incidence of relevant prosthetic regurgitation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Annular rupture during transcatheter aortic valve replacement: classification, pathophysiology, diagnostics, treatment approaches, and prevention.
TL;DR: This summary describes theoretical and practical considerations of the etiology, pathophysiology, classification, natural history, diagnostic and treatment strategies, and prevention approaches of annular rupture.
Journal ArticleDOI
First experiences with a novel magnetically suspended axial flow left ventricular assist device.
Roland Hetzer,Yuguo Weng,Evgenij V. Potapov,Miralem Pasic,Thorsten Drews,Michael J. Jurmann,Ewald Hennig,Johannes Müller +7 more
TL;DR: The preliminary clinical experience with Incor is promising, the flow is sufficient for recovery from multiorgan failure and the pump allows long-term hemolysis-free support, and the concept of magnetically levitated bearings has proven to be durable and reliable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical cardiac support in the young with the Berlin Heart EXCOR pulsatile ventricular assist device: 15 years' experience.
Roland Hetzer,Vladimir Alexi-Meskishvili,Yuguo Weng,Michael Hübler,Evgenij V. Potapov,Thorsten Drews,Ewald Hennig,Friedrich Kaufmann,Brigitte Stiller +8 more
TL;DR: Timely implantation of the Berlin Heart EXCOR in the course of progressive heart failure now appears to be justified because the system has undergone the necessary modifications and the accumulation of clinical knowledge has made its use highly reliable and safe.
