Artificial Heart Implantation

Artificial heart implantation is a surgical procedure where a mechanical device, called an artificial heart, is placed in a patient whose heart is too weak to pump blood effectively. This device can take over the heart's function, helping to maintain blood circulation and oxygen supply to the body. Artificial hearts are typically used for patients awaiting a heart transplant or those who are not candidates for surgery. The procedure requires careful planning and is performed by skilled cardiac surgeons in a hospital setting. After implantation, patients may need ongoing medical supervision and support.
