Long-Term renal function after implantation of continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices: A single center study

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2021
Background: Implantable continuous-flow left ventricular assist device (LVAD) improve renal function in advanced heart failure. However, the long-term effects of LVAD on renal function have not been investigated thoroughly.

Left Ventricular Assist Devices and the Kidney [PDF]

Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2017
Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are common and implantation carries risk of AKI. LVADs are used as a bridge to heart transplantation or as destination therapy. Patients with refractory heart failure that develop chronic cardiorenal syndrome and CKD often improve after LVAD placement. Nevertheless, reversibility of CKD is hard to predict.

Transcatheter valvular therapies in patients with left ventricular assist devices

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Aortic, mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation are commonly encountered in patients with continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (CF-LVADs). These valvular heart conditions either develop prior to CF-LVAD implantation or are induced by the pump
