Professor Mariusz Kuśmierczyk, together with a team of cardiac surgeons, performed the first implantation of an artificial ventricle at the University Clinical Center of the Medical University of Warsaw. It is a state-of-the-art device of the new generation Heartmate 3. Until recently, devices of this type were implanted only in patients waiting for a heart transplant.

Currently, this solution is often used as a target solution for the rest of the patient's life. The implantation of the pump is also possible in people who, due to their age, are not eligible for transplantation.
