Ventricular Assist Device (VAD) is an effective means of saving patients with severe cardiac failure. I expressed my opinion about status of the VAD and problems of the pump-driven system in Japan.
At present, staged or bridged cardiac transplantation utilising apartial artificial heart is available and should be used more often in further to provide effective life for suffering from end-staged cardiac failure.
