The HeartMate VE left ventricular assist system (LVAS) has supported more than 2300 patients and has been shown to be effective for bridge to cardiac transplantation and has demonstrated improved outcomes in survival as a destination therapy. Improvements in device durability are needed as bridge to transplant times increase and as we move into the era of LVAD as destination therapy. The purpose of this study is to determine if design enhancements to the HeartMate LVAS have improved device reliability and durability.
