The Evolution of Artificial Heart Technology For decades, we’ve had pacemakers, LVADs, and mechanical circulatory support, but a durable, fully functional Total Artificial Heart (TAH) has remained just out of reach. That’s changing. What’s different today: ➡️ Smaller, more efficient artificial hearts—using aerospace-inspired rotary pump technology. ➡️ Continuous blood flow design—eliminating wear-and-tear on mechanical valves. ➡️ Fully implantable systems—working towards removing external drive lines that increase infection risk. The future of heart failure treatment is about more than extending life—it’s about restoring quality of life. #HeartMonth #FutureOfMedicine #CardiovascularInnovation #OurHearts #TotalArtificialHeart
My 11 year old son asked me yesterday what the coolest medical device I've ever seen was and I told him about this one. He is writing a paper on it for his science class, and he said his friends didn't believe him that this was a real device! 😂
The community has been waiting for this device for a long time. BiVacor will get a lot more use than projected. We’ve seen so many one offs of Temp left/Temp right, we Did ECMO for 6 months and walked around the hospital…. If the patient has more than LV failure and is a candidate for anything, this will be the go to option.
