Our study suggests that concomitant TVS failed to show benefits in patients receiving LVAD implantation. Even worse, concomitant TVS is associated with significantly increased incidences of RVF, RVAD use, and new-onset of RRT. Considering the small sample size and short follow-up, these findings warrant further study.
