Left Ventricular Assist Devices for Acute Myocardial Infarct Size Reduction: Meta-analysis

Miyashita, S., et al. (2021). We conducted a meta-analysis of preclinical studies that tested left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy for reducing myocardial infarct size in experimental acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The meta-analysis showed that infarct size was significantly decreased by LVAD support compared to control animals.
