Ventricular Assist Device Infections

Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2012
Ventricular Assist Devices(VAD) are the commonest form of cardiac mechanical support, used as bridge to transplantation but also as destination therapy in non-transplant-eligible patients in whom transplantation is considered unsuitable based on age criteria. Infections are common and can significantly impact on patient outcome.

Centrifugal Ventricular Assist Devices

AACN Advanced Critical Care, 1991
A centrifugal ventricular assist device (VAD) uses centrifugal force to propel blood through nonocclusive pumpheads. Blood is diverted from either the right atrium or left atrium to a disposable pumphead. Then kinetic energy is added to blood contained within the VAD by rotating it at high speed.
