# A Novel Biventricular Assist Device With a Single Driveline: A Report on the First Patient Treated

## TL;DR

A new heart support device with a single cable was successfully implanted in a patient with severe heart failure.

## Contribution

The first human implantation of a novel biventricular assist device with a single driveline is reported.

## Key findings

- The DuoCor-BiVAS BiVAD was successfully implanted in a human for the first time.
- The device offers a compact and single-driveline solution for biventricular heart failure.
- It provides a potential alternative for patients ineligible for heart transplantation.

## Abstract

We would like to report the first‐in‐human implantation of the novel DuoCor‐BiVAS biventricular assist device (BiVAD). This system features a single driveline and compact peripheral components, offering a promising mechanical support option for patients with terminal biventricular heart failure ineligible for heart transplantation.
