Abstract
BiVAD implantation remains one of the challenges in treating severe heart failure. Previous cardiac surgery, elevated creatinine, and post-LVAD extracorporeal membrane oxygenation were risk factors for mortality after BiVAD implantation. Dialated Cardiomyopathy on the other hand was associated with a more favorable outcome.
