Blood Damage in Ventricular Assist Devices [PDF]

The International Journal of Artificial Organs, 2016
Advancements in both the design of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) and medical care for recipients have led to steady improvements in patient survival over the last decades. Indeed, current generations of ventricular assist devices (VADs), for example, provide important therapeutic alternatives for individuals with heart failure that may be ...

Left ventricular assist devices [PDF]

Journal 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.
