What is Left Ventricular Assist Device Surgery?

Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) surgery involves implanting a mechanical pump to support a failing heart in pumping blood efficiently. It is commonly recommended for patients with end-stage heart failure. The LVAD serves either as a bridge to heart transplantation or as a long-term solution for those who are ineligible for a transplant, significantly improving survival and quality of life.

Symptoms Indicating Need for LVAD Surgery

Symptoms that may require LVAD surgery include severe fatigue, shortness of breath, swelling in the legs or abdomen, dizziness, and fainting. These signs indicate the heart’s inability to pump blood effectively. An LVAD can provide essential support, enhancing heart function, relieving symptoms, and significantly improving the patient’s quality of life by assisting in blood circulation.

Causes Leading to LVAD Surgery

LVAD surgery is often performed in patients with end-stage heart failure caused by conditions like coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, or heart valve disease. These conditions severely weaken the heart’s pumping ability, causing poor blood circulation and oxygenation throughout the body. The LVAD helps alleviate these symptoms and supports the heart’s function.

Diagnosis for LVAD Surgery

The diagnosis for LVAD surgery involves various tests, including echocardiograms, electrocardiograms (ECG), and MRI scans. Doctors also evaluate the patient’s overall health, including lung function and kidney health. The decision to implant an LVAD is made based on the patient’s heart function, severity of symptoms, and eligibility for a heart transplant.

Treatment for LVAD Surgery

The treatment involves implanting a mechanical pump inside the chest to assist the heart in pumping blood. LVAD surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and requires a hospital stay for recovery. After the surgery, patients will need ongoing care, including follow-up visits to monitor the LVAD and manage potential complications.

Types of Left Ventricular Assist Device

LVAD surgery include HeartMate II and III, Heart Ware HVAD, EXCOR Pediatric LVAD, and Impella. Each type serves different needs long-term support, bridge to transplant, or temporary assistance. HeartMate III offers advanced technology with better outcomes, while EXCOR suits children. Impella provides short-term support in emergencies or acute heart failure cases.
