Abstract

We would like to report the first-in-human implantation of the novel DuoCor-BiVAS biventricular assist device (BiVAD). This system features a single driveline and compact peripheral components, offering a promising mechanical support option for patients with terminal biventricular heart failure ineligible for heart transplantation.
