Cardiac devices

An LVAD is a mechanical pump that supports your left ventricle, helping circulate blood when the heart struggles to keep up. LVADs are often recommended for patients with advanced heart failure—whether as a bridge to a transplant or as a long-term solution.

VADs assist both the left and right sides of the heart, offering powerful support for weakened heart muscles and improving blood circulation throughout the body. They can be temporary or permanent and are placed surgically, or sometimes through a catheter in the leg artery or vein.

This device monitors heart rhythms, automatically delivering a shock to restore normal rhythm when life-threatening arrhythmias occur.

If your heart beats too slowly or irregularly, a pacemaker may be implanted to keep your heartbeat steady—helping you avoid symptoms like dizziness and fatigue.

Over time, device leads — the wires connecting devices to your heart — may need repair or removal. Our electrophysiology team is skilled in lead management and extraction, keeping your device performing optimally.

For patients with atrial fibrillation, LAA closure reduces stroke risk by sealing off an area of the heart where clots often form.

These procedures close small openings in the heart’s walls, reducing stroke risk and ensuring blood flow stays on the right path.
