LVAD Competitor Technologies
ECMO
ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) provides temporary respiratory and circulatory support, bypassing the heart and lungs. It can be used as a bridge to transplant or recovery, making it a competitor to LVADs in certain scenarios.
Impella
Impella is a percutaneous ventricular assist device that provides temporary hemodynamic support. It competes with LVADs for short-term support in certain patients.
IABP
IABP (Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump) is a temporary circulatory support device that assists the heart by inflating and deflating a balloon in the aorta. It competes with LVADs for short-term support in certain patients, but is a less effective long-term support option.
