VAD guidance tool testing for patients and clinicians
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new tool that helps patients prepare for getting a ventricular assist device (VAD), a machine that helps the heart pump blood. Researchers want to see if the tool is easy to use and helpful for both patients and their doctors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have a VAD implanted in the near future
- You speak English
- You are at least 19 years old

This study tests a program that provides extra support and care planning for people who have been living with a heart pump (LVAD) for at least a year. The goal is to help you feel better and manage your health.
This trial looks at a blood marker called GDF-15 in people getting a heart pump (LVAD) to see if it can help predict early recovery or complications. It may help doctors better understand how patients will do after surgery.
This trial looks at how well a specialized, multidisciplinary clinic works for people who have a ventricular assist device (VAD) and compares new VAD patients with those who have already had standard follow-up visits. It may help improve how care and check-ins are organized after your VAD is implanted.
This study tests new virtual tools to help veterans aged 65 and older learn about and join heart-related research studies. It aims to make it easier for veterans to participate in trials from home using online videos and surveys.
This study tests a special software (TAVIPILOT) that uses augmented reality to help doctors guide the valve replacement procedure. It looks at whether this guidance system is safe and works well during a standard minimally invasive aortic valve replacement.
This study is developing a digital tool to help people 70 and older with heart failure decide whether an ICD (a device that prevents dangerous heart rhythms) is right for them. Participants will help test and improve this tool.
