1 Outcomes in Patients Bridged With Univentricular and Biventricular Devices in the Modern Era of Heart Transplantation  Joshua C. Grimm, MD, Christopher M. Sciortino, MD, PhD, J. Trent Magruder, MD, Samuel P. Dungan, BA, Vicente Valero, MD, Kavita Sharma, MD, Ryan J. Tedford, MD, Stuart D. Russell, MD, Glenn J.R. Whitman, MD, Scott C. Silvestry, MD, Ashish S.

2 Fig 1 Differences in the absolute number of devices implanted over the study period. There was a significant increase in left ventricular assist devices (LVADs; black bars) and total artificial hearts (TAHs; light gray), whereas biventricular assist devices (BiVADs, dark gray) remained constant.

3 Fig 2 Unconditional survival at 5 years stratified by type of support. Left ventricular assist device (LVAD, dash line) patients demonstrated improved survival (log-rank p < 0.001), mostly as a result of increased early death in biventricular assist device (BiVAD, solid line) and total artificial heart (TAH, dotted line) patients.
