Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs) Intervention

Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs) are mechanical pumps that support a failing heart by helping to circulate blood throughout the body. They are implanted in patients with severe heart failure who are awaiting a heart transplant or as a long-term solution. The device connects to the heart and a power source outside the body, assisting either the left, right, or both ventricles in pumping blood. VAD intervention involves a surgical procedure to implant the device, careful management to prevent complications, and regular monitoring to ensure optimal function and patient safety.
