Overview

Complications warrant careful VAD patient selection in end-stage HF; extends support evidence but leaves open need for safer devices.

Structured PICO

Population

Patients with acute and chronic heart failure, particularly end-stage heart disease refractory to definitive therapy

Intervention

Mechanical ventricular assistance (ventricular assist devices, intraaortic balloon pump, centrifugal pumps)

Mechanical ventricular assistance has evolved to provide effective long-term support for end-stage heart failure, serving as both a bridge to transplantation and a potential definitive therapy.
