Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Subject or legal representative has signed Informed Consent Form
- Age \> 18 and \< 75 years old
- Body Surface Area (BSA) ≥ 1.2 m2
- Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) ≤ 35%
- Inotrope dependent OR
- Cardiac Index (CI) \< 2.2 L/min/m2, while not on inotropes and subjects must also meet one of the following criteria:
- On Guideline Directed Medical Therapy (GDMT) for at least 45 out of the last 60 days and are failing to respond.
- Advanced heart failure (Class III or Class IV for at least 14 days AND support from short term mechanical circulatory support for up to 7 days).
- Females of childbearing age must agree to use adequate contraception.
- Patient must be eligible for heart transplantation.
You may not qualify if:
- Heart failure (HF) due to or associated with uncorrected thyroid disease, obstructive cardiomyopathy, pericardial disease, amyloidosis or restrictive cardiomyopathy.
- Technical obstacles which pose an inordinately high surgical risk, in the judgment of the Investigator
- Ongoing mechanical circulatory support (MCS) other than IABP or micro axial pumps
- INTERMACS Class I patients
- Subject is on a ventilator
- Subject is pregnant or breastfeeding
- Presence of a mechanical aortic valve that will not be converted to a bioprosthesis at the time of LVAD implant
- History of any organ transplant
- Platelet count \< 100,000/μl
- Psychiatric disease/disorder, illicit drug use, irreversible cognitive dysfunction or psychosocial issues that are likely to impair compliance with the study protocol and LVAD management
- History of confirmed untreated abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) \> 5 cm in diameter within 6 months of enrollment
- Presence of an active, uncontrolled infection
- Intolerance to anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapies or any other peri/post-operative therapy the investigator will require based upon the patient's health status
- Presence of any one of the following risk factors for indications of severe end organ dysfunction or failure:
- An INR ≥ 2.0 not due to anticoagulation therapy
- +16 more criteria
