Concomitant tricuspid valve repair in left ventricular assist device implantation may increase the risk for temporary right ventricular support but does not impact overall outcomes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
OBJECTIVES Tricuspid valve repair in left ventricular assist device implantation continues to pose a challenge and may impact the occurrence of early and late right heart failure. We investigated the effects of concomitant tricuspid repair on clinical

Ventricular assist devices

open access: yesAnnals of Cardiac Anaesthesia, 2013
Despite major advances in the treatment of heart failure over the past two decades, improving the natural history of this condition, heart failure continues to be a major source of morbidity and mortality. Although availability of heart donor for transplantation has declined over the past several years, innovations in ventricular assist device (VAD ...

Cost-effectiveness of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) for patients with advanced heart failure : analysis of the British NHS Bridge to Transplant (BTT) program [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background: A previous cost-effectiveness analysis showed that bridge to transplant (BTT) with early design left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) for advanced heart failure was more expensive than medical management while appearing less beneficial ...

Left ventricular assist devices [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Intensive Care Society, 2020
Background There is a growing population of patients in the UK with advanced heart failure who are receiving a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) as a bridge to transplant. This is due to the plateauing number of heart transplantations and the increasing evidence of the effectiveness of these devices.
