The Inflammatory Response to Ventricular Assist Devices [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 The therapeutic use of ventricular assist devices (VADs) for end-stage heart failure (HF) patients who are ineligible for transplant has increased steadily in the last decade. In parallel, improvements in VAD design have reduced device size, cost, and device-related complications.
