Abstract

Twenty years after the first human cardiac transplantation and 5 years after the first artificial heart implant, when technological advancements in cardiac surgery seem to have reached a plateau and apparently nothing in sight can astonish the world in this field, a 50-year-old concept comes back to regain strength and to offer promise to a potentially large number of patients who are neither good candidates for transplant nor subjects for mechanical assist in its present stage of development.
