| Abstract | Summary form only given. Despite optimal medical therapy, patients with end-stage heart failure may deteriorate while waiting for cardiac transplantation. Bridging to transplantation with a ventricular assist device (VAD) may be a life saving procedure for these patients. We report our two cases who were implanted with MicroMed DeBakey VAD. Two male patients, 37 and 41 years old underwent implantation of a MicroMed DeBakey VAD as a bridge to heart transplantation. Both of them had end-stage left heart failure due to idiopathic cardiomyopathy and were listed for cardiac transplantation. Despite optimal medical therapy they developed acute hemodynamic deterioration. Both patients need inotropic support after implantation for adequate right heart function. The doses of the inotropes tapered in a few days and then stopped. In the early phase after implantation, pump speed was not increased above 9,000 rpm to avoid excessive suction; but after that it was set between 9,000 and 11,000 rpm to achieve mixed venous oxygen saturation of 70% with mean arterial blood pressure more than 65 mmHg. For anticoagulation we started with intravenous heparin and then switched to warfarin sodium, clopidogrel bisulfate and acetyl salysilic acid orally. Both patients are still on the device after 46 and 25 days of uncomplicated pump support. In conclusion, these are first implants of the MicroMed DeBakey VAD in Turkey. From these cases we have learned that this device is appropriate for bridge to transplant purposes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
