Primer puente a trasplante cardiaco exitoso en Chile usando el dispositivo Heart Mate II
Implantable ventricular assist devices are an effective treatment option for end-stage heart failure patients as a bridge to cardiac transplantation, to improve the clinical condition and organ function allowing discharge from the hospital to await for transplantation.
