LVADs: A Rapidly Evolving Alternative to Transplant
LVADs represent a significant advancement in the field of advanced HF. Device technology continues to evolve rapidly. Patient survival is improving, despite the many device-related complications. Future clinical trials are needed to determine who would benefit most from device support versus cardiac transplantation and whether LVAD support may favor cardiac recovery.
