Ventricular Assist Device Helps Memorial Heart Failure Patients

For patients with advanced heart failure, the implantation of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) can be an option to help their heart continue to pump blood.

Under the direction of Enrique Gongora, MD, Medical Director, Mechanical Circulatory Support, and Ioana Dumitru, MD, Medical Director, Adult Cardiac Transplant, Heart Failure and Cardiomyopathy, the dedicated interdisciplinary team at Memorial provides advanced heart failure care for even the most complex situations.
