VA D TM (WorldHeart Corporation) or Synergy ® micro-pump (Circulite,
Inc., Hackensack, NJ, USA). Improved biocompatibilty of these devices is
not proven while clinical trials are underway (Krishnamani et al. , 2010).
Despite the considerable advances in the development and selection of
implantable materials issues of biocompatibility remain partly unresolved.
Further gradual improvement can be anticipated guided by clinical trials.
