Outcomes of patients after successful left ventricular assist device explantation: a EUROMACS study
Sufficient myocardial recovery with the subsequent explantation of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) occurs in approximately 1–2% of the cases. However, follow‐up data about this condition are scarcely available in the literature.

Targeted myocardial gene expression in failing hearts by RNA sequencing
Background Myocardial recovery with left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy is highly variable and difficult to predict. Next generation ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing is an innovative, rapid, and quantitative approach to gene expression ...

Synergistic Model of Cardiac Function with a Heart Assist Device [PDF]
The breakdown of cardiac self-organization leads to heart diseases and failure, the number one cause of death worldwide. The left ventricular pressure–volume relation plays a key role in the diagnosis and treatment of heart diseases.

Relationship between device acceptance and patient-reported outcomes in left ventricular assist device (LVAD) recipients [PDF]
The number of Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVADs) implanted each year is rising. Nevertheless, there are minimal data on device acceptance after LVAD implant, and on its relationship with patient-reported outcomes. We designed a cross-sectional study

The influence of left ventricular assist device inflow cannula position on thrombosis risk
The use of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) as a treatment method for heart failure patients has been steadily increasing; however, pathological studies showed presence of thrombi around the HeartWare ventricular assist device inflow cannula (IC ...
