With the progression of congestive heart failure, therapeutic options become fewer, and cardiac transplantation is the final option. The use of a left ventricular assist device improves the survival rate and quality of life in patients on the waiting list for transplantation. A 64-year-old man was successfully maintained on mechanical circulatory support with a left ventricular assist device for 502 days, as a bridge to transplantation.

D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.

D006353 Heart-Assist Devices Small pumps, often implantable, designed for temporarily assisting the heart, usually the LEFT VENTRICLE, to pump blood. They consist of a pumping chamber and a power source, which may be partially or totally external to the body and activated by electromagnetic motors.
