Abstract
Against the background of the extremely poor preoperative situation of our patients, the overall survival rate of 48% can be considered as favorable. A prospective, randomized study is planned to find out whether patients with idiopathic dilated or ischemic cardiomyopathy are more likely to benefit from a biventricular assist device or a total artificial heart.
