Intracorporeal VAD Outcomes in the ACTION Quality Improvement Network

The initial project of ACTION (Advanced Cardiac Therapies Improving Outcomes Network) is focused on improving stroke rates in patients implanted with a ventricular assist devices (VAD) in participating centers. The initial interventions targeted improving communication, anticoagulation, and blood pressure management. We sought to describe the characteristics and outcomes of patients implanted with intracorporeal, continuous flow VADs (cfVAD).
