Left Ventricular Assist Device Providers

UW Health is one of the national leaders in outcomes using left ventricular assist devices for patients with end-stage heart failure. Our team uses a broad spectrum of left ventricular assist devices (LVAD), tailoring selection to meet each patient's individual needs.
 
Results
 
Whether we implant a left ventricular assist device as a bridge-to-transplantation for those awaiting transplant, or as destination therapy for those ineligible for transplant, our results have been exemplary.
