Left Ventricular Assist Device.
Surgical technology internationalLeft ventricular assist device (LVADs) have been used with increasing frequency since the late 1980s. Technology has improved these devices to make them less thrombogenic and has decreased their size to allow greater application. By definition, the LVAD only assists or supports the pumping function of the left ventricle, unlike cardiopulmonary bypass ...
