Abstract
This surgical model simulated left ventricular assist device unloading of the left ventricle. The second operation reloaded the left ventricle, which then enlarged. This model will permit the evaluation of adjunctive interventions, such as cell transplantation, intended to facilitate successful left ventricular assist device removal and prevent recurrent dilatation.
