Pediatric Ventricular Assist Devices [EPUB ebook] 
Ishlt Monograph Series Volume 11

This monograph, entitled, Pediatric Ventricular Assist Devices, reflects the collective effort of many people in the international field of pediatric ventricular assist devices and is a testament to the growth of this field over the last decade. This work summarizes the most current literature in pediatric VAD therapy and also introduces concepts and ideas not previously published. We would like to acknowledge all those who contributed to the monograph and hope that the context reflects both the similarities and difference of practice in this unique field of medicine. We hope that the reader finds this as a useful resource and is able to take away from the chapters, areas where we as a field need to continue to focus in order to move forward and improve outcomes.
