摘要
Heart transplantation (HTPL) has been established as the gold-standard surgical treatment for end-stage heart failure. However, the use of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) as a bridge to HTPL has been increasing due to the limited availability of HTPL donors. Currently, more than half of HTPL patients have a durable LVAD. Advances in LVAD technology have provided many benefits for patients on the waiting list for HTPL. Despite their advantages, LVADs also have limitations such as loss of pulsatility, thromboembolism, bleeding, and infection. In this narrative review, the benefits and shortcomings of LVADs as a bridge to HTPL are summarized, and the available literature evaluating the optimal timing of HTPL after LVAD implantation is reviewed. Because only a few studies have been published on this issue in the current era of third-generation LVADs, future studies are needed to draw a definite conclusion.
