Long-term mechanical circulatory support (LT-MCS) is an important treatment modality for
patients with severe heart failure. Different devices are available, and many—sometimes …

Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are increasingly common across the heart failure
population. Right ventricular failure (RVF) is a feared complication that can occur in the early …

Mechanical circulatory support with implantable durable continuous-flow left ventricular
assist devices (CF-LVADs) represents an established surgical treatment option for patients …

Background The effect of significant mitral regurgitation (MR) on outcomes after continuous
flow left ventricular assist device (cfLVAD) implantation remains unclear. Methods We …

Functional mitral regurgitation (MR) in the setting of heart failure results from progressive
dilatation of the left ventricle (LV) and mitral annulus. This leads to leaflet tethering with …

Background Thromboembolic events (TEs) are common adverse events with continuous-
flow left ventricular assist devices (LVADs). Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is …

The aim of this systematic review and meta‐analysis was to evaluate the outcomes of
concomitant mitral valve surgery for significant preexisting mitral regurgitation (MR) in …

Background We investigated the clinical outcomes after cardiac valvular surgery procedures
concomitant (CCPs) with left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation compared to …

Background and Objective Surgery for mitral valve disease is a developing area with a wide
range of surgical options. There is growing evidence on the best approach for secondary …

Secondary mitral regurgitation (MR) is a disease condition in which the mitral valve (MV)
becomes insufficient as a result of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. As such, it is also referred …
