【 摘 要 】

Heart transplantation is a method of choice for the surgical treatment of a terminal stage of cardiac insufficiency. The lack of donors that all health systems in the world are experiencing has led to the intensive development of devices for permanent mechanical support of circulation. Implantable devices, such as the LVAD circulation pump, are widely accepted as a therapeutic option for improving the quality of life and survival of patients with terminal heart failure. Indications for incorporation include bridge to transplant (BTT), bridge to candidacy (BTC) and destination therapy (DT). The article presents a case of successful surgical treatment of terminal heart failure. The patient was implanted with a circular support device for left heart chamber for the maintenance of vital parameters and bridging the period to heart transplantation.
