Technical failure of pulsatile pneumatically driven assist devices has a higher incidence than that of CF-LVADs. Briefly, stoppage of a TAH pump due to membrane rupture is a fatal event; Berlin Heart EXCOR allows substitution of the failing external component but not restarting of the pump in case of a pump stop.","tracks":[]}
