✦ Synopsis

Our intermediate-term experience with the Berlin Heart INCOR indicates that it is a competitive alternative for mechanical circulatory support of patients with end-stage heart failure. At least in this short observation period it is associated with a low frequency of adverse events. Long-term follow-up is needed to confirm the advantages of this device.
