Abstract:
The implantation of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is an important therapeutic tool for patients with end-stage heart failure, which can either help patients transit to the heart transplantation stage or serve as destination therapy until the end of their lives. In recent years, the third generation of LVAD has evolved rapidly and several brands have been marketed both domestically and internationally. The number of LVAD implantations has been increasing and the long-term survival rate of implanted patients has improved, so this device has a broad development perspective. This article summarizes the current status, usage standards and precautions, and common complications after implantation of LVAD, as well as looks forward to the future development of LVAD, hoping to be helpful for researchers who are new to this field.
