Ventricular assist devices (VADs) are effective for heart failure patients when transplantation is not an option. Future VADs may lead to revisiting total artificial heart concepts.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Heart transplantation is the gold standard for end-stage heart failure but faces donor limitations.
  • Early artificial heart attempts were unsuccessful, shifting focus to ventricular assist devices (VADs).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current ventricular assist devices and their applications in adult heart failure.
  • To discuss the evolving landscape of mechanical circulatory support and future directions.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinically available ventricular replacement and assist devices.
  • Analysis of patient populations benefiting from current VAD technology.

Main Results:

  • Ventricular assist devices (VADs) are widely accepted for bridge-to-transplant and bridge-to-recovery.

  • Several FDA-approved VADs effectively treat diverse causes of heart failure.

    • Conclusions:

    • Current VADs offer significant benefits for heart failure management.
    • Next-generation devices are expected to further advance heart failure therapy, potentially reviving interest in total artificial hearts.
