A Contribution to the Assessment of Pathophysiology in Long-Term Total Artificial Heart Recipients

  • Conference paper

Abstract

The implantation of total artificial hearts (TAHs) has become an ever more important tool of cardiosurgery in saving the lives of potential recipients of biological transplants when a donor organ is not immediately available. Clinical experience with this bridging procedure is now accelerating. In addition, some clinical experience with permanent TAH implantation has been gathered [1, 2]. This knowledge is advancing methodological procedures concerning the implantation technique, the construction of TAH devices and control and driving units, and the postoperative management of patients. Also, for the first time we can learn of the subjective feelings of TAH recipients. Thus, future clinical development is now a well established branch of TAH research and research into heart transplantation in general. On the other hand, some basic problems concerning permanent TAH implantation in humans have to be solved; these problems derive from the technical equipment and/or from the physiology of the organism with the TAH implanted.
