Cost-effectiveness analysis of continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices as destination therapy.
BACKGROUND Continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have become the dominant devices for mechanical circulatory support, but their cost-effectiveness is undetermined. This study assessed the cost-effectiveness of continuous-flow devices for destination therapy versus optimal medical management in advanced heart failure and compared the results with previous estimates for pulsatil...
متن کاملClinical and cost-effectiveness of left ventricular assist devices as destination therapy for people with end-stage heart failure: a systematic review and economic evaluation.
OBJECTIVES The clinical and cost-effectiveness of left ventricular assist devices as destination therapy for people with end-stage heart failure is assessed through a systematic review and economic evaluation. METHODS Systematic review was performed of randomized controlled trials, quasiexperimental studies, case series, and case studies identified through searching eighteen electronic databa...
متن کاملCost-Effectiveness Analysis of Continuous-Flow Left Ventricular Assist Devices as Destination Therapy
Mechanical circulatory support has become an accepted treatment for patients with advanced heart failure ineligible for transplantation. It is anticipated that the growing heart failure population coupled with the shortage of suitable donor organs will result in further increases in the use left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) as a means to enhance quality of life and survival. Critical eval...
متن کاملMyocardial recovery in peri-partum cardiomyopathy after continuous flow left ventricular assist device
Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) offer effective therapy for severe heart failure (HF) as bridge to transplantation or destination therapy. Rarely, the sustained unloading provided by the LVAD has led to cardiac reverse remodelling and recovery, permitting explantation of the device. We describe the clinical course of a patient with severe peri-partum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) rescued with a...
متن کاملClinical outcomes after continuous-flow left ventricular assist device: a systematic review.
BACKGROUND Conveying the complex trade-offs of continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices is challenging and made more difficult by absence of an evidence summary for the full range of possible outcomes. We aimed to summarize the current evidence on outcomes of continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices. METHODS AND RESULTS PubMed and Cochrane Library were searched from January 2007...
