Sounds like a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD)! They’re still being used today, although usually as a bridge to transplant rather than definitive therapy.

This new development is definitely exciting though, hopefully it will offer a new longer term alternative for patients :)

🙋🏻‍♂️ +1 on having received a warning. I’m a simple man. I see Luigi, I upvote.

Day 1 on lemmy so am finding my way around still :)
