Abstract
The use of left ventricular assist devices is becoming increasingly more common. Current developments allow percutaneous canulation without the setting of a cardiac surgery department or a perfusionist. This brings assist device treatment also to smaller facilities and makes the transfer of unstable patients from the primary clinic to specialized centers for extended treatment possible. This review describes the different systems and current experience in patient transfer.
