      Device-Case Series and Review of Literature.

AB  - For patients with advanced heart failure, left ventricular assist device (LVAD) 
      can serve as a bridge to heart transplantation. Patients with class II obesity 
      are eligible for implantation of LVAD but do not meet criteria for cardiac 
      transplant listing. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is proposed as weight 
      losing modality in order to reach the New York Heart Association (NYHA) criteria 
      for listing. In our center, three patients on LVAD with need for weight-reducing 
      therapy were treated with laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. We reviewed our data 
      retrospectively and compared it with the literature. Successful weight loss was 
      achieved in all patients, without postoperative adverse events. Two out of three 
      were listed on transplant waiting list. Our results are similar to those 
      described in other series.
