Circulatory Support Systems

Circulatory support systems are medical devices designed to assist or replace the heart's function in patients with severe heart issues. These systems help maintain blood flow and ensure that vital organs receive enough oxygen and nutrients. Common types include left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), which aid the left side of the heart, and total artificial hearts, which replace it altogether. By providing this support, these devices can improve patients' quality of life and allow them to wait for a heart transplant or recover from heart surgery.
