With advanced heart failure and cardiac surgery infrastructure, University Hospital offers Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) Therapy for eligible patients. Established in 1842, the SAC accredited hospital is located in Basel, Switzerland, and has 773 beds.
An LVAD can provide continuous mechanical support to the failing left ventricle, helping improve blood circulation and reduce the workload on the heart. Depending on the patient's condition, it may be used while awaiting transplantation or as longer-term support. Comprehensive pre-operative testing helps determine the most appropriate treatment strategy.
Paracelsus Clinic provides LVAD Implantation using contemporary mechanical circulatory support technology and evidence-based cardiac care. Founded in 1953, the accredited hospital is based in Lustmuhle, Switzerland, with 95 beds and services for domestic and international patients.
During LVAD implantation, the pump is connected to the left ventricle and the aorta, helping move blood through the body when the heart cannot pump effectively. The device is connected to an external controller and power source. Before surgery, specialists assess cardiac function, organ health, infection risk, and overall suitability for mechanical support.
