Left ventricular assist devices: a kidney’s perspective [PDF]
Heart Failure Reviews, 2015 The left ventricular assist device (LVAD) has become an established treatment option for patients with refractory heart failure. Many of these patients experience chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to chronic cardiorenal syndrome type II, which is often alleviated quickly following LVAD implantation.
