Sažetak
Continuous-flow left-ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have emerged as the standard of care for advanced heart failure patients, who require long-term mechanical circulatory support. In this review, we describe in brief the basics of the development of various devices, both the old (pulsatile-flow) and the new (continuous-flow) devices. A clinical review of modern devices and their today’s relevance are given in a brief outline.
