2. Ventricular assist device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_assist_device

   The first left ventricular assist device (LVAD) system was created by Domingo Liotta at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston in 1962. The first LVAD was implanted in 1963 by Liotta and E. Stanley Crawford. The first successful implantation of an LVAD was completed in 1966 by Liotta along with Dr. Michael E. DeBakey.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoratec

   Thoratec's third-generation HeartMate LVAD is the HeartMate 3, [48] [49] designed to lower adverse event rates through improved hemocompatibility, and to increase ease of surgical placement through new design and compact size. [50] [51] It began undergoing clinical trials in the U.S. and internationally in mid 2014. [48] [49] [50] [52] [53]

   O. H. "Bud" Frazier is a heart surgeon and director of cardiovascular surgery research at the Texas Heart Institute (THI), best known for his work in mechanical circulatory support (MCS) of failing hearts using left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) and total artificial hearts (TAH).

5. Destination therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destination_therapy

   Ventricular assist devices require open-heart surgery for implantation. An incision is made through the breastbone to expose the heart. Heparin will be given to keep the patients blood from clotting. The blood is rerouted to a heart-lung machine that will pump and oxygenate blood. A pocket for the LVAD is formed in the abdominal wall.

8. Artificial heart - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_heart

   An artificial heart is an artificial organ device that replaces the heart.Artificial hearts are typically used to bridge the time to complete heart transplantation surgery, but research is ongoing to develop a device that could permanently replace the heart in the case that a heart transplant (from a deceased human or, experimentally, from a deceased genetically engineered pig) is unavailable ...

9. Pump thrombosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump_thrombosis

   Pump thrombosis is defined as a specific case of a major device malfunction. In turn, device malfunction is as defined by Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support (INTERMACS) as a failure of one or more of the components of the mechanical circulatory support systems which either directly causes or could potentially induce a state of inadequate circulatory support (low ...
