Updates to perioperative and anesthetic management of the left ventricular assist device patient presenting for noncardiac surgery
Optimal outcomes for LVAD patients undergoing noncardiac surgery require multidisciplinary planning, device-specific knowledge, and meticulous management of anticoagulation, hemodynamics, and right ventricular function. Future research should standardize protocols for perioperative LVAD management in nonspecialist centers.
