A Prospective Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of the EVAHEART LVAS for Use as a Bridge-to-Transplant

The objective of this pivotal study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the EVAHEART LVAS
as a bridge-to-transplant for subjects with end stage heart failure. Subjects will be
followed for 180 days after the EVAHEART LVAS implant or until cardiac transplant or explant
for recovery (+ 60 days or discharge). If after 180 days post-implant the subject has not
received a cardiac transplant or the device has not been explanted, the subject will continue
to be followed monthly.
