SynCardia's Total Artificial Heart as a Bridge to Transplant
Similar to a heart transplant, the SynCardia temporary Total Artificial Heart replaces both heart ventricles, eliminating the symptoms and source of end-stage biventricular failure. The immediate, high volume of safe blood flow provided by the Total Artificial Heart helps vital organs recover faster, making patients better transplant candidates... and Total patients receive their donor hearts sooner.
