Narayana Hrudayalaya - LVAD - Artificial Heart

[thomashalyk]

get a pace maker

This is not a artificial heart, who ever was commenting during this video is a retard. This is just a left ventricular assist device. What retards. Being a Biomedical engineer working in the Bay Area I know this. The company that made this device is Thoratec. They make only Ventricular assist devices!! THIS IS NOT A FREAKIN ARTIFICIAL HEART! Go google abiocor, that is the artificial heart.

@quijjhg Nobody here is a retard. If there is a retard then it`s you. If you are "Biomedical engineer" then you should know that this machine is not a thoratec. This machine is Heart mate. Learn some more before you open your mouth.

[quijjhg]

@marpalaki Let me first clarify why I made that comment. Though many people watch these videos out of curiosity, there are a few who really want to know precise information to help out a loved one. I had very clearly implied that the person speaking in the video is a retard ard not anyone else. So stop assuming things that are convenient to you. Secondly, you come across as someone uneducated, illinformed and ignorant. This assist device is made by Thoratec, Heartmate is the name of the model.

@marpalaki By making comment like "This machine is a Heart mate. Learn some more before you open your mouth." What are you trying to prove? Obviously you have no clue of what you are typing. I live in the Bay Area in California. The hotbed for medical device companies. Thoratec is located in my backyard. Don't teach me about biomed kid. In fact you're the person who needs to "Google" stuff before you try acting smart. Period.

Ha! tell me about the indians and their castes social class system !

yeaah....

by the way... the tests with human beings of the french heart start this fall.

the first tests made on animals let it conceptors think about a 4 to 10 years lenght in time...

last thing: i wouldnt even get into an indian train when i see the today's 60 dead people because they cant even drive trains...LMAO

It may lengthen time for survival from 3 months to maybe 10 months. But risks of clots in an already severely compromised heart are major! It is mainly used in the USA in heat transplant surgical centers while patients wait for a compatible heart transplant.

Dick Cheney, Bush 43's vice president has had 5 heart attacks already and is 69. He just had one of these LVADs implanted.

There really is no way that he could undergo a heart transplant at his age. There are many waiting for one.

[nokumded]

Thank you for sharing this. My father will be having this surgery next week in Rochester NY and it really helped me understand what will happen..

[BERSERKERDEMON1]

lol 50 years old late technology.

watch this:

"Carmat builds artificial heart" on youtube

it s much better (20 years of research by the EADS, responsible of the Aeronautic and Space industry in Europe)

the inventor is french ^^ (just like me ^^)

[ripcalwill]

@BERSERKERDEMON1 Well i worked with Robert Jarvik in 1977 with HIS artificial heart, and that was 33 years ago.

Quel dommage, mon ami!!

Narayana Hrudayalaya and there are the best in heart surgery there ratio on heart surgery is 99:1 99% is in SUCCESS. and this video is not taken simply to here its real

[classicstreetfighter]

yes real, but in no successtory they tell about inflammation, risks of defects, blooddamage etc. Not one machine in this area is better than what God made.

[ShwangShwing]

No machine is better, yet. But it has unlimited possibility to improve. We can change and design newer and better devices, while we can't change much our boddies... (ok, maybe with genetic engeneering we can... whatever). And obviously for this man the mechanical heart is better then what God made FOR HIM.

[classicstreetfighter]

That cannot be true, because the chance of success is infuenced by only a few percents that contains the work of the surgeons and his team. The rest is totally patientdependant. Every realistic medical doctor knows that.
