Implantable continuous-flow total artificial heart for newborns and small pediatric patients: First report of working model
This successful effort demonstrated the feasibility of the miniature continuous-flow total artificial heart, intended for very small patient populations. I-CFTAH showed stable hemodynamics and could, therefore, become one of the few therapeutic options as a bridge to transplantation, aiming to enhance both the quality and duration of life for pediatric patients with advanced HF.
