Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Left Ventricular Assist Devices have become an important therapy for advanced heart failure. We present 2-year results of the prospective, multicentre clinical trial in China, showing long-term efficacy and safety of a novel miniaturized magnetically levitated, continuous-flow left ventricular assist system. METHODS: Patients were adults with a left ventricular ejection fraction
