Key Points

The Berlin Heart EXCOR serves as a key support system in patients awaiting heart transplantation, improving survival rates.
During the video tutorial, we observe a real-time case of successful BiVAD EXCOR placement in an adult patient.
This intervention highlights the role of mechanical circulatory support in managing end-stage biventricular heart failure.
The findings suggest that using the Berlin Heart EXCOR can bridge patients to successful heart transplant outcomes.

Abstract

The Berlin Heart EXCOR Adult biventricular assist device (BiVAD) is an approved option for mechanical circulatory support in patients experiencing end-stage biventricular heart failure. In this video tutorial we demonstrate a clinical case of BiVAD EXCOR implantation in an adult.
