New heart pump gives hope to advanced heart failure patients
NCT ID NCT06878508
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a device called the DuoCor Ventricular Assist System, an implantable heart pump for people with advanced heart failure. Eight adult patients who needed support for both sides of the heart received the pump. The main goal was to see if patients survived for 3 months after implantation, either with the device, after a heart transplant, or after their heart recovered enough to remove the pump.
