Reply Hello, doctor would like to answer the question: “Heart failure, grade 4 kidney failure can implant artificial heart. can you sell part? ” as follows:
Partial artificial heart transplant, also known as left ventricular assist device implantation, is indicated for the treatment of end-stage heart failure that does not respond to medical treatment. To perform this technique, surgery is required to implant the device into the body. Therefore, patients need to have a comprehensive evaluation before performing surgery. You should take your family members to centers that have implanted ventricular assist devices for evaluation and accurate conclusions.
You can take your mother to the nearest medical facility or the Hospital of Vinmec Health System to be examined and consulted by doctors more carefully. Best regards!
