A Guide to Mechanical Circulatory Support: Ventricular Assist Device Complications [While the goal of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy is always to create an improvement in quality of life and reduction to morbidity and mortality, adverse events may occur and alter the patient’s recovery. These adverse events include bleeding, right ventricular heart failure, infection, stroke, and device component failure. This chapter looks to define potential device-related complications, incidence, and treatment options to improve patient care during an unanticipated event.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[While the goal of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy is always to create an improvement in quality of life and reduction to morbidity and mortality, adverse events may occur and alter the patient’s recovery. These adverse events include bleeding, right ventricular heart failure, infection, stroke, and device component failure. This chapter looks to define potential device-related complications, incidence, and treatment options to improve patient care during an unanticipated event.]
