Outcomes of patients after successful left ventricular assist device explantation: a EUROMACS study

ESC Heart Failure, 2020
Sufficient myocardial recovery with the subsequent explantation of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) occurs in approximately 1–2% of the cases. However, follow‐up data about this condition are scarcely available in the literature.
