| Abstract |
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have revolutionized the care of patients with advanced heart failure (HF). Compared to guideline-directed medical and device therapies, LVAD technology improves quality of life and reduces mortality. Palliative care specialists have an important role to play in the pre-LVAD evaluation phase, in the post-operative longitudinal care phase, and at the endof-life in patients with LVADs. The objective of this narrative review is to describe the evidence regarding the role of palliative care for patients with LVAD across the care continuum: pre-implantation, postimplantation, and at the end-of-life. |

CONCLUSIONS: In this narrative review, we describe the integral role of palliative care throughout the care continuum of patients living with LVADs and suggest opportunities for further research. |

| Abstract |
KEY CONTENT AND FINDINGS: Palliative care involvement in 'preparedness planning' has been described in the literature, though no standardized protocol for preparedness planning exists, to date. In the longitudinal care phase after LVAD implantation, the role of palliative care is less defined; depending on institutional culture and availability of palliative care, patients may be referred based on symptom-management needs or for advance care planning (ACP). At the end-of-life, either due to an acute event or a gradually worsening condition, palliative care is often engaged to participate in discussions regarding treatment preferences and to consider transitions in care from disease-directed treatments to comfort-focused treatments. Given the medical complexity of dying with LVADs, most patients with an LVAD die in hospital with support from palliative care teams for the physical, existential, and psychosocial distress that accompanies end-of-life and LVAD deactivation. |
