Heart failure is a leading cause of death in human populations. Because of the insufficient numbers of donor hearts, ventricular assist as a way for the treatment of heart failure and its clinical use is increasing. Initially ventricular assist devices were approved as a bridge-to-recovery indication, and these systems are now increasingly being used as a bridge-to-transplant (BTT) , destination therapy (DT) or permanent support. According to the different structure and working mechanism, ventricular assist device is generally divided into three generation. This review makes a summary on the type of blood pump and its research progress in clinical application.
