2012: Journal of American Heart Association; January 2012; November 3, 2011. The cost-effectiveness associated with continuous flow LVADs for destination therapy has improved significantly relative to the pulsatile flow devices. This change is explained by significant improvements in survival, functional status and reduction in implantation costs.

2011: Journal of Cardiac Surgery; August 18, 2011. A recent prospective, randomized controlled trial demonstrated that a continuous flow (CF) left ventricular assist device (LVAD) resulted in improved survival at 12 and 24 months compared to a pulsatile-flow (PF) device. The current study examines the hospitalization costs associated with treatment of New York Heart Failure Class IV patients when implanted with a CF LVAD and compares them to previously reported costs of a PF LVAD in the same population.
