    The use of durable mechanical circulatory support, such as a durable left ventricular assist device (dLVAD), is an important but often underutilized treatment for patients with advanced heart failure (HF), according to a JACC Scientific Statement published Sept. 25 in JACC. Ryan J. Tedford, MD, FACC, et al., write that, with innovations in dLVAD technology, the risk of several adverse events has been reduced, such as pump thrombosis, stroke and bleeding. The “average patient survival is now similar to

    Atrial fibrillation (AFib) ablation was associated with lower rates of death, urgent heart transplantation or left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation compared with medical therapy in patients with end-stage heart failure (HF), according to results from the CASTLE-HTx trial presented at ESC Congress 2023. Researchers randomly assigned 194 patients (median age 64 years; 19% women) with symptomatic AFib and end-stage HF and who were eligible for heart transplantation to either first-time catheter
