Evaluation of a new approach to the management of advanced chronic heart failure : use of implantable left ventricular assist devices as a bridge to heart transplantation in the UK

2017-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Introduction: Heart Transplantation (HTx) remains the standard treatment for patients with advanced chronic heart failure (ACHF). Over the last 20 years, despite rising donor numbers, practitioners have observed a decline in the numbers of adult HTx in the UK. Due to this decline and due to increasing waiting times for HTx more patients are requiring a ventricular assist device (VAD) as a bridge to heart transplan...
