Blood Damage in Ventricular Assist Devices [PDF]
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 ...
