The field of durable left ventricular assist devices has advanced dramatically since its introduction into the clinical realm. From the first-generation pulsatile HeartMate XVE device to the second-generation continuous axial flow HeartMate-2 to the current third-generation centrifugal flow devices, the left ventricular assist device has undergone significant evolution. This review describes the technology and its changes over the course of time, with a focus on the fundamental question: Has anything changed?
自耐用型左心室辅助装置引入临床领域以来，该领域取得了显著进展。从第一代搏动性 HeartMate XVE 装置到第二代连续轴流式 HeartMate-2 装置，再到目前的第三代离心流装置，左心室辅助装置经历了重大演变。本综述描述了随着时间的推移技术及其变化，重点关注一个基本问题：是否有任何变化？
