Figure 1

A full range of cardiac support technology. The plain chest x-ray shows a Jarvik pump in the apex of the left ventricle with power cable passing through the neck to the skull pedestal. There is an implantable cardio-defibrillator and dual chamber pacemaker with additional wire for cardiac resynchronisation therapy. There are drug eluting stents in the left coronary artery. Bone marrow stem cells now add a further dimension to supportive therapy.
