摘要

The Berlin Heart EXCOR is a paracorporeal, pulsatile, and pneumatically driven ventricular assist device and can provide durable support to the left ventricle, right ventricle or both ventricles and can be used as bridge to recovery or bridge to transplant. The aim of this short report is to present the outcomes and complications in adult patients who received the paracorporeal biventricular Berlin Heart EXCOR system in our center, as a bridge to transplant strategy. From January 2022 to December 2024 six patients underwent implantation of the device. Three patients died while on support, and 3 patients were successfully transplanted. Despite the high mortality observed, the Berlin Heart EXCOR system is still a reasonable therapeutic option with acceptable post-transplant survival.
