摘要：
In this article, Professors Yacoub and Miller review the current status of left-ventricular-assist-device (LVAD) therapy for patients with chronic heart failure. The authors discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the available devices, how the indications for LVADs have evolved, and address the question 'are LVADs ready for long-term use?'
