Hemodynamic evaluation of a new left ventricular assist device: an integrated cardioassist catheter as a pulsatile left ventricle-femoral artery bypass.

abstract：:The durability of ventricular assist device (VAD) therapy improved steadily over the past years. However, driveline infections remain a challenge. To test whether an improved surgical implantation technique may lower the incidence of infections, we analyzed all patients receiving a VAD implantation in the years 2008 a...
