LVAD Hospital in North Carolina 2018

Just as an FYI, the East Carolina Heart Institute (Vidant Hospital), Greenville, NC is now a LVAD hospital. Our surgeon was previously at Duke in Durham and preformed over 40 implants there and has done 5 implants here. (I was the 3rd.) This. is a fantastic addition to eastern NC as it saves patients here having to travel to Durham or Chapel Hill. The team here is outstanding and I cannot express how great they are. My entire experience has been great, except for, y'know, the surgery part. But the Vidant staff made it bearable and I'm doing great a month out of the hospital. Glad to answer any questions as a new recipient. Thanks, MH
