title: [First experience of application of assist circulation device using biventricular type "excor"].
abstract: The frequency of use of assist blood device as the "bridge" to the heart transplantation increased in last years. An assessment of results of first 7 implantations of assist circulation device using biventricular type "Excor" was made. The implantations were performed in Federal Almazov centre of the heart, blood and endocrinology. An observation period after implantation was since 11 till 301 days. The heart transplantation of 4 patients was carried out in different terms after implantation. One of the patients passed away on the fifth day due to the pulmonary embolism. Another patient died on the eleventh day after the implantation because of multiple organ failure against the background of severe chronic cardiac failure. The waiting list of heart transplantation includes 2 patients.
