Abstract:
Abstract: It became necessary to perform a staged procedure by means of total artificial heart followed by cardiac transplantation in a 26‐year‐old, female patient. The Ellipsoidheart, as an artificial heart, fitted excellently in the chest without compromising the surrounding structures. As soon as the patient recovered with the artificial heart, a consecutive transplantation was performed. This first European clinical experience gained confidence and suggests applying more artificial hearts as a bridge towards transplantation.
