1 Ventricular assist device (VAD) patient in action
Ventricular assist device (VAD) patient in action. This infant is on a VAD while awaiting heart transplantation. The VAD pump rests near his feet while he receives physical and occupational therapy. A computerized driver sits in front of him (not seen in this photograph). Source: Chapter 13.
