  • Survival outcomes at 1, 2, and 6 months post-implantation showed no significant improvement in survival rates.
  • Meta-analysis and systematic review methods were applied to assess LVAD effectiveness and adverse events across multiple studies.
  • The findings underline the importance of managing risks associated with LVAD and the need for technology advancements to improve outcomes.
