Millions of individuals around the world suffer from heart failure, which kills more people annually than all forms of cancer combined. Since there aren’t enough donors for heart transplants, using a reliable mechanical circulatory support system could lengthen patients’ lives and ease their pain. This device can be inserted into either the left or right ventricle of your heart, although the left ventricle is where it is most usually utilized. If a patient suffers heart failure and is not a suitable candidate for a heart transplant, the doctor may recommend having a VAD implanted as a long-term treatment.
