Destination Therapy with Left Ventricular Assist Devices in Non-transplant Centres: The Time is Right
For almost half a century, cardiac transplant has been the only long-term treatment for patients with end-stage heart failure. Implantable left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have emerged as a new treatment option for advanced heart failure as destination therapy for patients either too old or n...
