Experiences of being maintained on a ventricular assist device
… cardiac support from two different types of ventricular assist device (VAD). The literature review focuses on the decisionmaking experience of patients and caregivers considering implantation of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD). The LVAD is a type of long-term/durable VAD which enables …

A Multi-Scale CFD Analysis of Patient-Specific Geometries to Tailor LVAD Cannula Implantation Under Pulsatile Flow Conditions: an investigation aimed at reducing stroke incidence in LVADs
A Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) is a mechanical pump that provides temporary circulatory support when used as bridge-to-transplantation and relieves workload demand placed on a failing heart allowing for myocardia recovery when used as destination therapy. Stroke is the most devastating …
