Alerts clinicians to high embolic risk with Jarvik-7; hypothesis-generating for hemocompatibility improvements in future TAHs.
What are the thromboembolic complications and patterns of device thrombosis associated with the Jarvik-7 total artificial heart?
The Jarvik-7 total artificial heart is associated with a high rate of thromboembolic complications and specific patterns of device thrombosis, highlighting significant safety and hemocompatibility concerns.
Levinson et al. (1986) studied this question.
