Inpatient cardiac rehabilitation after implantation of a total artificial heart (Aeson device CARMAT) in case of ventricular septal defect after infarction

The Aeson TAH proved to be a safe and effective therapy, in particular, as bridge-to-decision therapy in this complex case of post-infarction VSD. Inpatient cardiac rehabilitation played a pivotal role in optimizing physical recovery, managing device-related challenges, and preparing the early transition to an independent living. This case highlights the potential of advanced bioprosthetic solutions and the benefits of a structured rehabilitation system in managing severe cardiac conditions. Further research is needed to evaluate the long-term outcomes and broader applicability of the Aeson TAH.
