A Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) is a mechanical pump used in severe heart failure to assist the left ventricle in pumping blood, serving as a bridge to transplantation or recovery. The procedure costs between INR 30 to 45 lakhs in India, with additional costs for surgery and post-operative care.
