Abstract

In this review, we hope to give a perspective of the new realities of cardiac mechanical circulatory assist devices. New iterations of devices are providing greater durability and freedom of complications. Work is near to provide internal batteries and transcutaneous energy transfer systems for completely implantable systems, avoiding the need for an externalized drive line.
