re: isn't it time? yes, for some facts We wouldn't want newcomers to the VCR board being influenced by any misinformation, so let's just put some basic facts straight:
* VentrAssist is used to assist the heart's left ventricle to pump blood (also stated by King Gee)
* The heart is not removed
* VentrAssist represent a life-saving alternative to heart transplant

Please visit Ventracor's web-site for additional information : http://www.ventracor.com/

If you still want more contact Ventracor's investor relations.
Ask for a CD (excellent), and a glossy brochure and a copy of the latest annual report.

........... and you will be well informed.
Too much misinformation on this board.

<<< but ventracor is used in the heart transplant unit at the alfred hospital, assisting in heart transplant patients >>>
Ventracor has not been used in a human patient so far - sheep yes, not in a human.

Yes the program is run by Professor Don Esmore who is the Head of The Alfred Hospital surgical team

That does not make the patient placement of a VentrAssist devise a heart transplantation.

'nuff said ? 'cause I'm not wasting more time on this !
