The Jarvik 2000 Heart is a silent compact axial flow impeller pump which is now undergoing clinical trials for both bridge to transplantation and permanent mechanical circulatory support. The pump is implanted into the apex of the failing left ventricle by left thoracotomy. A vascular graft offloads to the descending thoracic aorta so that only the left pleural cavity is opened. Power supply is through an abdominal drive line or post-auricular titanium pedestal according to the treatment strategy.
