Left Ventricular Assist Device in Pregnancy

Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2011
: Left ventricular assist devices have become increasingly common for the treatment of acute and chronic heart failure. It is unclear whether these devices can handle the increased stresses caused by pregnancy.: An 18-year-old woman received a left ventricular assist device after peripartum cardiomyopathy.

Immunobiology of left ventricular assist devices

Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 2000
The increasing use of implanted biomaterial devices has made it evident that no material is biologically inert. As a result of direct contact with elements of the blood circulation, such as during hemodialysis or after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation, significant changes in systemic immunologic and thrombostatic functions occur.

Left ventricular assist devices

Heart, 2009
Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) insertion in patients with advanced heart failure with deteriorating clinical status is life saving, and LVADs are now being inserted into an increasing number of patients with advanced heart failure. They were initially inserted as a bridge to transplantation, and the decreased availability of donor hearts means ...

CT of Left Ventricular Assist Devices

RadioGraphics, 2010
Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have become an increasingly beneficial option for patients with heart failure, especially in light of the insufficient availability of donor hearts. LVADs have been used effectively in end-stage heart failure as a bridge to heart transplantation, as destination therapy for those ineligible for transplantation, or
