Fontan Patients

Mechanical circulatory support in failing Fontan patients with Fontan circuit failure remains challenging. Herein, we describe a failing fenestrated Fontan patient who underwent systemic ventricular assist device support leaving the fenestration open. Perioperative course and hemodynamics during mechanical support are described in detail.

Preliminary Study

Left ventricular assist systems are being developed for eventual long term or permanent implantation as an alternative to heart transplantation in patients unsuitable for or denied the transplant option. Evaluation of the effects of these devices upon normal physiology is required. A preliminary study was conducted to evaluate the morphology of aortic tissue from calves implanted with a pneumatic Left Ventricular Assist device-LVAD. Two 3 month old heifer calves (calf 1 and calf 2) were electively explanted after 128 days and 47 days respectively. Descending thoracic aortic tissue from both animals was removed immediately post mortem and placed into karnovsky’s fixative. The tissue was subsequently processed for transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Some aortic tissue was fixed in neutral buffered formalin and processed for routine light microscopy.
