Parallel Application of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation and the CardioWest Total Artificial Heart as a Bridge to Transplant
Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 10/30/09
Anderson E et al. – The authors describe a patient who was a heart transplant candidate with biventricular failure who underwent CardioWest total artificial heart–temporary implantation with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to manage the patient's subsequent respiratory failure. After respiratory and hemodynamic stabilization, the CardioWest total artificial heart–temporary served as a successful 62–day bridge–to–heart transplantation.
