LVAD (Left Ventricular Assist Device) helps the heart pump blood when its pumping function is severely reduced. ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) provides temporary support for heart and lung function in selected critically ill patients.
TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement) is a minimally invasive procedure used to replace a narrowed aortic valve in selected patients. Eligibility depends on the severity of valve disease, medical history, and assessment by the cardiac care team.
