Predictors of survival in patients bridged to transplantation with the Thoratec VAD device: a single-center retrospective study on more than 100 patients
A El-Banayosy, L Arusoglu, L Kizner… - The Journal of heart and …, 2000 - Elsevier
Background: Careful patient selection markedly influences the outcome of patients who
undergo mechanical circulatory support. Therefore, we tried to evaluate predictors of
survival after implantation of the Thoratec ventricular assist device (VAD). METHODS:
Between October 1992 and January 2000, 104 patients (86 men, 18 women, aged 11 to 69
years) received the Thoratec VAD as a bridge to transplant. A total of 51 patients required
left ventricular support (LVAD), 50 patients required biventricular support (BVAD), and 3 …
