Inclusion Criteria

  • Age ≥ 18 years and ≤ 75 years
  • The patient has signed an Informed Consent Form
  • Body Surface Area (BSA) ≥ 1.2 m2
  • New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class IV
  • Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) ≤ 25%
  • Despite the optimal medical management based on current guidelines, the patient must also meet one or more of the following:
  • - - a. Unable to exercise for HF, or if able to perform cardiopulmonary testing, with peak VO2 <12 mL/kg/min and/or < 50% predicted value;
  • - - b. Progressive end-organ dysfunction (worsening renal and/or hepatic function, type II pulmonary hypertension, cardiac cachexia) due to reduced perfusion and not to inadequately low ventricular filling pressure (PCWP > 20 mmHg and SBP < 90 mmHg or CI < 2.0 L/min/m2).
  • - - c. Impella or IABP assisted; Inotrope dependent/unable to wean from inotropes.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Heart failure who can be treated with other therapy options (e.g. CRT, CRT-D, etc.)
  • Intolerance to anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapies or any other peri/post-operative therapy the investigator will require based upon the patients' health status.
  • Patient has known hypo or hyper coagulable states such as disseminated intravascular coagulation and heparin induced thrombocytopenia type II.
  • Platelet count < 100,000 x 103/L (< 100,000/ml).
  • Psychiatric disease/ disorder, irreversible cognitive dysfunction or psychosocial issues that are likely to impair compliance with the study protocol and left ventricular assist system management.
  • Technical obstacles which pose an inordinately high surgical risk, in the judgment of the investigator.
  • Presence of an active, uncontrolled infection.
  • Presence of any one of the following risk factors for indications of severe end organ dysfunction or failure:
  • - - a. Total bilirubin > 51.3 umol/L (3.0 mg/dl), ischemic hepatitis, or biopsy proven liver cirrhosis, or clinically Child-Pugh B and C score.
  • - - b. History of severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) defined by FEV1/FVC < 0.7, or FEV1 < 50% predicted.
  • - - c. Fixed pulmonary hypertension with a most recent PVR ≥ 8 Wood units that is unresponsive to pharmacologic intervention.
  • - - d. History of stroke within 180 days prior to enrollment, or a history of cerebrovascular disease with symptomatic (> 70%) carotid artery stenosis
  • - - e. Serum creatinine ≥ 265umol/L (3.0mg/dl) or requiring dialysis.
  • - - f. Significant peripheral vascular disease (PVD) accompanied by rest pain or extremity ulceration.
  • Etiology of heart failure (HF) due to or associated with uncorrected thyroid disease, obstructive/ restrictive cardiomyopathy, pericardial disease, amyloidosis or giant cell myocarditis.
  • Uncorrected moderate to severe aortic insufficiency without plans for correction during pump implant.
  • History of confirmed, untreated abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) or thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) > 5 cm in diameter.
  • Uncontrollable ventricular tachyarrythmias / ventricular fibrillation (VF).
  • STEMI <2 weeks before planned implantation.
  • Right ventricular failure as defined by one or more of the following:
  • - - a. Severe depressed RV function in echocardiography
  • - - b. TAPSE < 1.0 cm
  • - - c. CVP/PCWP ratio > 0.63
  • Planned Bi-VAD support prior to enrollment.
  • Cardiac arrest with a history of resuscitation 1-month before inclusion, without full restoration of cognitive function.
  • History of any organ transplant.
  • Pre albumin < 150 mg/L, or Albumin < 30g/L (3 g/dL).
  • Any condition other than HF that could limit survival to less than 24 months
  • Positive pregnancy test if of childbearing potential.
  • Lactating mothers.
  • Participation in any other clinical investigation that is likely to confound study results or affect the study.
  • Patients who have been placed in an institution by court order or by order of the authorities.

Arms & Interventions

Corheart 6 LVAS

Experimental

The Corheart 6 Left Ventricular Assist System (Corheart 6 LVAS) to be used on patients with advanced left ventricular heart failure.

Intervention: Corheart 6 LVAS (Device)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Composite Survival Rate without Disabling Stroke

Time Frame: 6 months after device implantation

Composite survival is defined as meeting one of the following conditions: * Surviving with the original device for 6 months after surgery without disabling stroke (mRS score \> 3 at 3 months after stroke), and without reoperation (replacement or removal) due to device problems; * Bridging to heart transplantation within 6 months after implantation; * Removal of the original device due to recovery of cardiac function within 6 months after implantation.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Composite Survival Rate without Disabling Stroke(24 months after device implantation)
  • Composite Survival Rate(5 years after device implantation)
  • Bridge Heart Transplantation Rate(6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 5 years after surgery)
  • Device Removal Rate(6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 5 years after surgery)
  • NYHA Cardiac Function Class(baseline, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 5 years after surgery)
  • KCCQ Questionnaire(baseline, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 5 years after surgery)
  • Anxiety and Depression Self-Rating Scale(baseline, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 5 years after surgery)
  • Adverse Events(6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 5 years after surgery)
  • Device Failure Rate(6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 5 years after surgery)
  • NYHA Functional Class assessed using the New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Classification (Class I-IV)(baseline, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 5 years after surgery)
  • Anxiety assessed using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale (GAD-7)(baseline, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 5 years after surgery)
  • Depression assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9)(baseline, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 5 years after surgery)
