Abstract
The Jarvik-2000 is an axial-flow left-ventricular-assist-device (LVAD) designed for permanent use. The power supply is provided by a cable plugged into a skull-pedestal mounted in the retro-auricular area. We describe the surgical technique and discuss potential and encountered problems.Entities:
