Clinical experience and speculation on the treatment of end-stage heart failure with a domestic HeartCon implantable left ventricular assist device / 中华胸心血管外科杂志

ABSTRACT

The author, as a coordinating investigator, jointly with the other ten PIs conducted a 62-case multicenter clinical trial of a domestic HeartCon implantable left ventricular assist device(LVAD) for the treatment of end-stage heart failure(ESHF), the results of which demonstrated the safety and efficacy of the device. In the clinical practice, we have not only validated the international general knowledge, but also created some ideas and methods that are different from the international traditional practice and has been proved to be more reasonable by repeated practice. We hereby would like to share our experience and speculation, so as to provide the reference for the colleagues.
