Immunobiology of left ventricular assist devices
Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 2000The 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.

CT of Left Ventricular Assist Devices
RadioGraphics, 2010Left 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
