Ventricular assist devices are mechanical pumps that take over the function of the damaged ventricle in order to re-establish normal hemodynamics and end-organ blood flow. In addition, VADs unload the ...
LV unloading with microaxial flow pumps during complex PCI does not reduce major adverse clinical outcomes in patients with impaired LV function.
All of these can significantly damage the heart, and an LVAD can help by directing oxygenated blood from the left ventricle of the heart to the aorta. The aorta then distributes this blood throughout ...
