Durable LVADs

Durable Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVADs) are mechanical pumps designed to help hearts that struggle to pump blood effectively, often used in advanced heart failure. Implanted surgically, they assist the left ventricle in delivering blood to the body, improving circulation and organ function. These devices are made to last for several years, providing patients with increased mobility and quality of life, either as a bridge to heart transplantation or as a long-term solution. While they reduce heart workload and symptoms, they require ongoing management and regular medical follow-up to ensure proper functioning and prevent complications.
