A heart assist system implant is a surgical procedure where doctors place a mechanical device into or around your heart to help it pump blood throughout your body. Patients might need this procedure when their heart is severely weakened and cannot pump enough blood on its own, either while waiting for a heart transplant or as a longer-term treatment option. During the procedure, surgeons will make an incision in your chest, connect the device to your heart and blood vessels, and then close the incision; you can expect to spend time in the hospital recovering and learning how to manage the device with follow-up medical care.
