Our mechanical circulatory support team is a multidisciplinary team. Our team includes expert cardiac surgeons, professional perfusionist, experienced operation scrub nurses and full-time coordinators. We have the largest case number of HeartMate-3 ventricular assist device in Taiwan.

We had conducted 10 cases of s HeartMate-3 Ventricular Assist Device implantation and had 100% surgical survival rate and 90 % hospital discharge rate, which is comparable to the medical heart center in the United State. Besides, our coordinators will closely follow up these patients, no matter the patient is bridge to heart transplantation or is on destination therapy.

In the clinical field, our team also has a lot of publications about mechanical circulatory support. Other than this, we also have a lot of researches and publications in the basic research, such as hemorheology, cardiac electrophysiology, vascular pathology, and immune physiology.
