Long-term biventricular circulatory support with POLVAD-MEV paracorporeal pulsatile pumps. Single-centre experience.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionSevere heart failure decompensation requires circulatory mechanical support in emergency situations. Polish paracorporeal pulsatile pumps, POLVAD-MEV, are designed for biventricular end-stage heart dysfunction.
aimTo evaluate long-term POLVAD-MEV therapy by multiple pump exchange in patients on a transplant list. MATERIAL AND
methodsThere were 3 patients in INTERMACS level 1 referred for emergency POLVAD-MED implantation due to acute heart failure deterioration. The paracorporeal pulsatile mechanical support was applied due to severe biventricular dysfunction.
resultsThey were supported by paracorporeal biventricular POLVAD-MEV pumps for 438, 473 and 394 days until heart transplantation. During the hospitalisation the pumps required multiple pumps exchanges within 29 ±10 (4-49) day intervals.
conclusionsPOLVAD-MEV paracorporeal pulsatile pumps present a safe option for long-term circulatory support in a selected group of patients. Therapy requires pump exchange but enables survival while awaiting a heart transplant.
