Pediatric Ventricular Assist Device [PDF]

Korean Circulation Journal, 2019
There have been great advances in ventricular assist device (VAD) treatment for pediatric patients with advanced heart failure. VAD support provides more time for the patient in the heart transplant waiting list. Augmented cardiac output improves heart failure symptoms, end-organ function, and general condition, and consequently provides beneficial ...
