The Texas Heart Institute Implants Artificial Heart
The BiVACOR TAH is a revolutionary device compared to existing total artificial hearts. Unlike traditional models that rely on flexible diaphragms, the BiVACOR TAH utilizes a single, magnetically levitated rotor (a significant design simplification). This translates to several key advantages. Firstly, the absence of mechanical bearings and moving parts minimizes wear and tear, potentially extending the lifespan of the device. Additionally, the BiVACOR TAH is capable of delivering high blood flow rates, even during exertion, mimicking the performance of a healthy heart....
