Graphical Abstract
A comparison of ‘within trial’ (MOMENTUM 3) and ‘real-world’ (ELEVATE) long-term (5-year) outcomes with a fully magnetically levitated left ventricular assist device (LVAD). These data show marked similarity across the domains of survival, quality of life, and functional capacity irrespective of transplant eligibility, geographic location, ethnic population differences, and diverse healthcare systems.
