A total artificial heart (TAH) is a device designed to replace the functions of a human heart. It is typically used as a temporary measure for patients with end-stage heart failure awaiting a heart transplant or as a permanent solution for patients who are not candidates for transplantation. The TAH consists of two artificial ventricles and four valves, powered by an external pneumatic driver. The implant is positioned inside the patient's chest and linked to an external power supply and control system. Risks associated with TAH implantation include bleeding, infection, and stroke.
