This video describes the Heartmate 3 Left Ventricular Assist Device, for patients with advanced heart failure. Treating a complex condition like congestive heart failure requires education, specialty training, resources, and understanding in creating an individualized care plan tailored to the unique needs of each patient. Bringing together a diverse and wide range of specialty skills, Deborah’s Heart Failure Team offers state-of-the-art care.
A patient whose CHF has progressed to more critical stages may be recommended for a VAD, or Ventricular Assist Device. This surgically implanted mechanical device, which can take over the pumping function of the heart, can be used both to support sick patients until a donor transplant heart becomes available. Increasingly, VADs are now being used for patients who are not eligible for a heart transplant, and become a permanent replacement to help their heart function.
