Effectiveness of an Intervention Supporting Shared Decision Making for Destination Therapy Left Ventricular Assist Device

JAMA Internal Medicine, 2018
Importance Shared decision making helps patients and clinicians elect therapies aligned with patients’ values and preferences. This is particularly important for invasive therapies with considerable trade-offs.

Implications of Transitional Care Interventions on Hospital Readmissions in Patients With Destination Therapy Left Ventricular Assist Devices [PDF]

, 2019
Background: The rising number of patients with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) require care management to successfully transition home after implantation. These patients and their families need to manage their heart failure, and the complexities

Optimal Hemodynamics During Left Ventricular Assist Device Support Are Associated With Reduced Readmission Rates

Circulation: Heart Failure, 2019
Background: Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy improves the hemodynamics of advanced heart failure patients. However, it is unknown whether hemodynamic optimization improves clinical outcomes.

Left Ventricular Assist Device Outflow Graft Obstruction: A Case Series.

ASAIO journal (1992), 2020
Dysfunction of different components within continuous-flow (CF) left ventricular assist device (LVAD) systems may cause adverse cardiovascular and end-organ sequelae. Outflow graft obstruction is a recognized type of LVAD component dysfunction.

Optimal haemodynamics during left ventricular assist device support are associated with reduced haemocompatibility‐related adverse events

European Journal of Heart Failure, 2019
Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy improves the haemodynamics of advanced heart failure patients. However, it is unknown whether haemodynamic optimization improves haemocompatibility‐related adverse events (HRAEs).
