Improvement in Quality of Life and Decrease in Large‐Volume Paracentesis Requirements With the Automated Low‐Flow Ascites Pump
The automated low‐flow ascites pump (alfapump) is an implantable device that drains ascites directly into the urinary bladder. We studied its safety (absence of serious complications) and efficacy (decreased large‐volume paracentesis [LVP] requirement and improved quality of life [QoL]) in the manag...
