Ventricular Assist Device (VAD) Program at Lurie Children's

Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago is the home to the #1 ranked pediatric Heart Center in Illinois, and offers one of the highest volume pediatric ventricular assist device (VAD) programs in the world.
A VAD is a mechanical pump that is used to support heart function and blood flow in patients with end stage heart failure. In pediatrics, VADs are most commonly used to support the heart while a patient waits for a donor heart (bridge to transplant), to recover a heart in temporary dysfunction (bridge to recovery), or while determining the best course of management (bridge to decision).
