摘要：

Post-explant evaluation of the continuous-flow total artificial heart in preclinical studies can be extremely challenging because of the device’s unique architecture. Determining the exact location of tissue regeneration, neointima formation, and thrombus is particularly important. In this report, we describe our first successful experience with visualizing the Cleveland Clinic continuous-flow total artificial heart using a custom-made high-definition miniature camera.
