Abstract
Patients supported with an HM II LVAD as BTT therapy were older with increased comorbidities; they demonstrated an improved survival while listed for heart transplantation. The use of LVADs as a BTT strategy can potentially improve patient survival while waiting for transplantation and allow better allocation of donor hearts.
