LVAD / Heart Transplant

A left ventricular assist (LVAD) device that pumps blood from the left ventricle to the aorta, connected to an aging external control unit and a battery pack.
VAD is an electromechanical device to aid cardiovascular circulation, used partially or completely to replace heart failure.
The function of VAD differs from that of the artificial pacemaker of the heart in that VAD pumps blood, and the pacemaker delivers electrical impulses to the heart muscle.
VADs are designed to assist the right ventricle to assist both ventricles.
