Abstract

Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are increasingly used as destination therapy for patients with end-stage heart failure who are unsuitable for cardiac transplantation. 1-3 There are few data regarding patients placed on LVADs intended for destination therapy whose improvement eventually allows for listing for cardiac transplantation. We report our experience with such a group of patients.
