Abstract
Many heart centers are utilizing the total artificial heart for a bridging technique to transplantation, particularly in patients with bi-ventricular failure or irreversible left ventricular failure, where a donor heart is not readily available. This discussion includes the training procedure, operation and management of Canada's first total artificial heart performed on May 1, 1986.
