A Decade of Pediatric Ventricular Assist Device Support in Colombia, a Middle‐Income Country
This comparative analysis highlights the challenges faced in Colombia, particularly in implementing advanced medical technologies in middle-income countries. Despite these constraints, the study demonstrates notable patient survival, suggesting that targeted efforts to improve resource allocation and technology access could further enhance results.
