He will have this ventricular assist device for the rest of his life.

His pioneering work led him to be considered around the world as a father of the ventricular assist device.

Various models of ventricular assist devices also have been used as bridges to a human heart.

Ventricular assist devices have been used since the 1990's.

He had a left ventricular assist device implanted to help his heart pump.

Research will concentrate instead on an electric-powered left ventricular assist device.

The products, called ventricular assist devices, mechanically help pump the heart.

He also criticized other researchers for the lack of detailed reports about their experience with ventricular assist devices.

Outcome of noncardiac surgery in patients with ventricular assist devices.

What's the next big thing in the ventricular assist devices market landscape? – Identify, understand and capitalize.

He is now reliant on a ventricular assist device and awaiting a heart transplant.

Experts estimate that left ventricular assist devices would be sufficient for the overwhelming majority of those patients.

Fraser et al., Prospective trial of a pediatric ventricular assist device.

Doctors, meanwhile, are using partial artificial hearts called ventricular assist devices to help some patients.

The agency has also approved a partial mechanical heart known as a ventricular assist device for permanent use.

On March 15, 1990, a left ventricular assist device was implanted and my condition improved greatly.

However, this concept was unsuccessful, so the focus of research was returned to left ventricular assist devices.

The implant is a left ventricular assist device.

A ventricular assist device or occasionally a heart transplant may be recommended in those with severe disease despite all other measures.

He performed the first implantation of left ventricular assist device, lasting for more than 90 days, in Asia.

The pumps, ventricular assist devices, are typically used with a heart still in place to help the chambers circulate blood.

Left ventricular assist devices reduce mortality in end-stage heart failure but complications are common.

"Ventricular Assist Devices continue to become more sophisticated and allow our patients a treatment option that had not been available to them in the past."

His surgeries in the past have included the implant of a pacemaker and a ventricular assist device.

In 2010, Cheney had a left ventricular assist device implanted for treatment of end-stage heart failure.

The common cause of blindness in developing countries is VAD.

In addition to dietary problems, there are other causes of VAD.

VAD is an important enabling technology for a variety of speech-based applications.

Additionally, the VAD can help patients on the wait list for a heart transplant.

He barely looked at the young VAD nurse who had come down from the other operating table.

VAD is estimated to affect approximately one third of children under the age of five around the world.

He must be related to your VAD driver, isn't he?

His mother was from London and had worked as a VAD nurse during the war.

She took her duty; she went to become the VAD nurse.

This is the crucial problem for a VAD algorithm under heavy noise conditions.

VAD also diminishes the ability to fight infections.

A major study in 2001 suggested that VAD's could help some of those people who did not qualify for transplants.

They had seen VAD's do something extraordinary: act as a bridge to recovery, rather than to transplant.

During one of her shifts, while wearing only VAD uniform she got hit by a bombardment.

It was also intended to lower the risk degree of VAD and the health problem that result from it.

The typical design of a VAD algorithm is as follows:

As a VAD, who had nursed in six hospitals at home and abroad, she was well placed to do this.

The main uses of VAD are in speech coding and speech recognition.

About 124 million children worldwide have VAD.

The VAD component represents close to 20 percent of the end-user price for residential customers.

When the patient is VAD for too long, the effects of the damage to the hippocampus can be irreversible.

Most biomedical engineers and doctors working in the field see the VAD technology as a step toward the next totally artificial heart.

Nyctalopia (night blindness) is one of the first signs of VAD.

A new battery-powered VAD will be ready for testing in humans late next year, bioengineers said.

During the First World War she served as a VAD.
