What are the Comparative Outcomes of Artificial Heart Transplants Versus Donor Heart Transplants in Patients with End-Stage Heart Failure? by Mohammad Eisa Ali in Journal of Clinical Case Reports Medical Images and Health Sciences Abstract End-stage heart failure (ESHF) necessitates advanced therapeutic interventions such as orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT). Due to the scarcity of donor hearts, mechanical circulatory support systems, including total artificial hearts (TAHs) and ventricular assist devices (VADs), have emerged as critical alternatives. Despite significant technological advancements, comprehensive comparative analyses of outcomes between artificial and donor heart transplants remain limited. Current literature exhibits gaps in detailed comparative analyses of longterm survival rates, quality of life (QoL), and complication profiles. Specific deficiencies include inadequate data on patient selection criteria, the impact of recent technological advancem...
