- Bridging to heart transplantation within 6 months after implantation;
- Removal of the original device due to recovery of cardiac function within 6 months after implantation.
Measured: 6 months after device implantation
Secondary outcomes (10)

Composite Survival Rate
5-year composite survival rate after implantation
Measured: 5 years after device implantation
Bridge Heart Transplantation Rate
Measured: 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 5 years after surgery
Device Removal Rate

Measured: 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 5 years after surgery
NYHA Functional Class assessed using the New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Classification (Class I-IV)
The outcome measure will be assessed using the New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Classification, a clinician-assessed four-class scale (Class I-IV) that categorizes the severity of heart failure symptoms based on the patient's physical activity limitations and symptoms.
Measured: baseline, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 5 years after surgery
KCCQ Questionnaire
Kansas Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ)
Measured: baseline, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 5 years after surgery
Anxiety assessed using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale (GAD-7)
Anxiety will be assessed using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale (GAD-7), a validated 7-item patient-reported questionnaire with scores ranging from 0 to 21, where higher scores indicate more severe anxiety symptoms.
Measured: baseline, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 5 years after surgery
Depression assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9)
Depression will be assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), a validated 9-item patient-reported questionnaire with scores ranging from 0 to 27, where higher scores indicate more severe depressive symptoms.
Measured: baseline, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 5 years after surgery

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Corheart 6 LVAS in people with Advanced Left Ventricular Heart Failure, run by Shenzhen Core Medical Technology CO.,LTD..
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 32 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Leon Lai (+86 755 23225941, laishengfeng@coretechmed.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Composite Survival Rate without Disabling Stroke (time frame: 6 months after device implantation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Jul 2026.
