Ventricular assist devices (VAD) to support the left (LVAD), the right (RVAD) or both ventricles (BVAD) have emerged as one standard of care for advanced heart failure patients. Initially used to bridge patients to transplantation (BTT) they are now more frequently implanted as permanent support (destination therapy, DT). Bridge to recovery (BTR) is a valid option for only a small number of patients. Although there are different devices available, patient selection, preoperative and intraoperative management, and the timing of VAD implantation are the elements critical to successful circulatory support.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007430 Intraoperative Care Patient care procedures performed during the operation that are ancillary to the actual surgery. It includes monitoring, fluid therapy, medication, transfusion, anesthesia, radiography, and laboratory tests. Care, Intraoperative
D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.

D006352 Heart Ventricles The lower right and left chambers of the heart. The right ventricle pumps venous BLOOD into the LUNGS and the left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood into the systemic arterial circulation.

D006353 Heart-Assist Devices Small pumps, often implantable, designed for temporarily assisting the heart, usually the LEFT VENTRICLE, to pump blood. They consist of a pumping chamber and a power source, which may be partially or totally external to the body and activated by electromagnetic motors.
