Vascular Function in Continuous-Flow Left Ventricular Assist Device Recipients: Effect of a Single Pulsatility Treatment Session.

CONCLUSION: This study documents that a localized pulsatility treatment in LVAD recipients can recover local vascular function, an important precursor to the development of approaches to increase systemic pulsatility and reduce systemic vascular complications in LVAD recipients.
