Percutaneous Left Ventricular Assist Devices
Interventional Cardiology Clinics, 2012Percutaneous left ventricular assist devices (P-LVADs) can be life saving and may permit the stabilization of a patient in cardiovascular collapse who would otherwise face imminent demise. For specific patients and clinical indications, or where a greater degree of hemodynamic support is required, numerous studies have demonstrated the feasibility and ...

Implantable Left Ventricular Assist Devices
The Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing, 2005The first bridge to transplant with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) was preformed over 20 years ago. Since that time, the devices have continued to evolve and now patients are being supported with devices as an alternative to transplantation.

Left Ventricular Assist Devices
1995Over the last three decades, remarkable medical developments have changed the outcome of most cardiac diseases. In the 1960’s, the advent of Coronary Care Units afforded patients the kind of monitoring and intervention that helped assure survival after a myocardial infarction. In 1966 the first coronary artery bypass grafting was performed.

Left Ventricular Assist Device
Heart Failure Clinics, 2021Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are indicated in inotrope-dependent heart failure (HF) patients with pure or predominant LV dysfunction. Survival benefit is less clear in ambulatory, advanced HF. Timing is crucial: early, unnecessary exposure to the risks of surgery, and device-related complications (infections, stroke, and bleeding) should be ...
