Description	Journal: Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings The ABIOMED BVS 5000 is an extracorporeal, pulsatile ventricular assist device. Seven patients were treated with the BVS 5000 at Baylor University Medical Center. Three patients were treated as a result of postcardiotomy ventricular dysfunction, two patients were treated after acute myocardial infarction, and two patients were treated after failed cardiac transplantation. Six patients received biventricular support, and one patient received left ventricular support. Hemodynamics were restored successfully in each patient. The average duration of support was 158 hours. Five patients were removed successfully from the BVS system, of which four patients survived 30 days; three of these patients were discharged and were long-term survivors. No device-related adverse effects of the BVS 5000 were noted. The BVS 5000 restored hemodynamics, permitted myocardial recovery, and improved survival in a group of patients who otherwise would have died. Baylor University Medical Center's experience with the BVS 5000 was instrumental in the device's approval by the US Food and Drug Administration in November 1992.
