“…Am Deutschen Herzzentrum Berlin werden bereits seit 1997 Patienten nach erfolgreicher Implantation von Kreislaufunterstützungssystemen und nach ausreichender Schulung in der Bedienung ihres Systems aus der stationären Behandlung in die häusliche Umgebung entlassen [10]. Gegenwärtig werden über 90% dieser Patienten in ambulanter Behandlung geführt.…”

The use of paracorporeal pneumatically accentuated blood pump systems is still indicated in cases of most severe biventricular heart failure and multiorgan failure or if only short- to mid-term circulatory support is anticipated. Well established indications for utilization of artificial blood pumps are the bridge-to-transplant procedure, which yields results comparable to primary heart transplantation, and acute cardiac failure following myocardial infarction or cardiac surgical procedures. In newborns and children, encouraging results were obtained when miniaturized blood pumps of the Berlin Heart System were utilized for heart failure in myocarditis or dilative cardiomyopathy. With advanced reliability of artificial blood pumps and in face of the high incidence of heart failure, especially in the older age group, the long-term application of artificial bloods pump appears to be justified.

“…A study has shown that pulsatile flow was not able to maintain the integrity of the pulmonary or systemic circulation as well as the organ function, whereas other experiments have suggested evidence to the contrary [19]. However, these devices are still in broad use in many centres because of their versatility, especially in supporting the right ventricle [8].…”

“…This is understandable because the first CAD systems were completely or partially paracorporeal and electrically motor driven. This required a cable (drive line) for the energy supply and for device control that was located in a small trolley pulled by the patient [8]. Since their introduction, CAD systems have undergone a substantial evolution, including the development of intracorporeal implants with percutaneous energy transmission by a small battery connected with the patient's belt [9].…”
