LVAD (left ventricle assist device) application is a promising surgical technique to treat refractory heart failure patients both as a bridge to heart transplantation or as destination therapy. Clinical recovery in such patients may be associated to normal endothelial function measured by BU but, as recently reported, only in pulsatile flow LVAD patients. The present paper report a case of normal endothelial function even in a axial LVAD patient.}, number={1}, journal={Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease}, author={Tarro Genta, Franco and Colajanni, Elena and Sbarra, Pierluigi and Tidu, Massimo and Rinaldi, Mauro and Bosimini, Enzo}, year={2016}, month={Jan.} }
