Summary

This study is testing the Aeson total artificial heart, a device that replaces both heart ventricles, in 95 people with severe heart failure. The goal is to confirm that the device works safely and effectively as a bridge to heart transplant. Researchers will measure survival rates and quality of life before transplant.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Aeson Total Artificial Heart (implantable device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this device could provide a reliable temporary replacement heart for people waiting for a transplant, improving survival and quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a post-market study, so the device is already approved. However, risks include surgical complications, device malfunction, or infection. The trial is relatively small (95 participants).
