Ventricular Assist Device Therapy [PDF]
Cardiovascular Therapeutics, 2009 Ventricular assist devices are an important therapeutic option for advanced congestive heart failure. A left ventricular assist device (LVAD) can be implanted as a bridge to transplantation or for the purpose of destination therapy. LVADs improve end‐organ function and reduce morbidity and mortality in appropriately selected patients.
