About this trial
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Corheart 6 LVAS when used for the treatment of advanced left ventricular heart failure in a European population at 6 months post-implantation.
The secondary objective is to assess the long-term safety and effectiveness of Corheart 6 LVAS treatment.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Composite of surivival
At 6 months post-implantation, composite of survival to transplant, recovery, LVAS support free of disabling stroke (Modified Rankin Score \> 3), or re-operation to replace the pump due to pump failure.
Secondary outcomes
Survival
Overall survival of patients
Composite of surivival
Composite of survival to transplant, recovery, LVAS support free of disabling stroke (Modified Rankin Score \> 3), or re-operation to replace the pump due to pump failure.
Quality of Life as measured by the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ)
Scores range from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate better quality of life and fewer heart failure symptoms.
Quality of Life as measured by the EuroQoL-5D-5L (EQ-5D-5L)
The scores from the 5 dimensions are summed for the total score which ranges from 5 to 25 with higher scores indicating more problems and a worse quality of life.
