Abstract
A left ventricular assist device is a mechanical device that is surgically implanted in the heart to partially or completely replace the function of the heart. Left ventricular assist devices are of vital importance in the treatment of patients with heart failure. There are different recommendations for the postoperative care of patients undergoing left ventricular assist device implantation in different countries, and no uniform standard has been developed. The first implantation of a left ventricular assist device in Eastern China was performed in February 2021; since that date, 14 patients underwent implantation until February 2023. This report describes the postoperative care of these 14 patients with end-stage heart failure who underwent left ventricular assist device placement, all of whom were discharged with a good prognosis.
