Ventricular Assist Devices: Challenges of the One-device Era

Cardiac Failure Review, 2022
Heart failure (HF) is linked to to high mortality rates and recurrent hospitalisations despite medical and device-based achievements. The use of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) has improved survival among patients with advanced HF.

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.
