Methodological Study of Reliability Test of Percutaneous Ventricular Assist Device
Prior to clinical application, reliability of percutaneous ventricular assist devices(pVAD) requires to be tested systematically. Currently, there's a lack of dedicated reliability testing equipment and methodologies for pVAD.

Use of Right Ventricular Assist Device Post-Left Ventricular Assist Device Placement
Right heart failure (RHF) is a common manifestation after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) placement and is associated with a high mortality rate. Historically, RV failure requiring an RVAD at the time of LVAD implantation has been associated with ...

Targeted myocardial gene expression in failing hearts by RNA sequencing
Background Myocardial recovery with left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy is highly variable and difficult to predict. Next generation ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing is an innovative, rapid, and quantitative approach to gene expression ...

Experience with left ventricular assist device usage in the treatment of end-stage heart failure [PDF]
Heart failure potentially developing in most of heart diseases is a progressive process associated with high morbidity and mortality. Almost 3/4 of patients die within five years after first hospitalization because of heart failure.
