TI  - The successful implantation of continuous-flow left ventricular assist device as 
      a destination therapy in Korea: echocardiographic assessment.

AB  - Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is a good treatment option for the patients 
      ineligible for cardiac transplantation. Several studies have demonstrated that a 
      ventricular assist device improves the quality of life and prognosis of the 
      patients with end-stage heart failure. A 75-yr-old man debilitated with New York 
      Heart Association (NYHA) functional class III-IV due to severe left ventricular 
      systolic dysfunction received LVAD implantation as a destination therapy. The 
      patient was discharged with improved functional status (NYHA functional class II) 
      after appropriate cardiac rehabilitation and education about how to manage the 
      device and potential emergency situations. This is the first case of successful 
      continuous-flow LVAD implantation as a destination therapy in Korea.
