BACKGROUND
Continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have become the dominant devices for mechanical circulatory support, but their cost-effectiveness is undetermined. This study assessed the cost-effectiveness of continuous-flow devices for destination therapy versus optimal medical management in advanced heart failure and compared the results with previous estimates for pulsatile devices.
METHODS AND RESULTS
A Markov model was developed to assess cost-effectiveness. Survival… CONTINUE READING
