Device helps patients survive, regain function til transplant
Date:8/29/2007

am will be participating in a trial evaluating a more portable console for the TAH-t that will permit patients to be discharged and live at home while awaiting heart transplantation.

The center also offers extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), the Thoratec and original HeartMate ventricular assist devices, the Novacor ventricular assist device, the Orqis and TandemHeart devices that are attached to the circulatory system outside the body, and the Abiomed device. Soon, they will begin recruiting patients for clinical trials of the Duraheart and Levacor rotary ventricular assist devices. And earlier this year, a U-M pediatric team implanted its first child with the Berlin Heart, after receiving special FDA permission.
