Ventricular Assist Device (VAD/LVAD) Treatment for Heart Failure Inova Heart and Vascular Institute is a leader in ventricular assist devices or "VADs" and has earned The Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval for exemplary, quality care and service. We run one of the busiest VAD programs in the Mid-Atlantic region to care for patients living with end-stage heart failure and as a bridge for transplant patients waiting for heart transplantation. Many VAD patients do so well they opt to have their name removed from the transplant list.

Stroke Risk Reduction WATCHMAN FLX™ People with atrial fibrillation (Afib) have a higher risk of stroke due to an irregular heart rhythm that can cause blood to clot in the left atrial appendage (LAA) of the heart. If the blood clot travels to the brain, it can cut off the oxygen-rich blood supply. Most often, patients who are at increased risk of stroke because of Afib are treated using anticoagulation medication, known as blood thinners, but not everyone can tolerate the medication.
