Our reputation as a center of excellence has made the Saint Barnabas
Heart Center at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center a principle site for
numerous investigational trials that offer patients the benefit of innovative
mechanical assist devices as a bridge to transplant or destination therapy.
With advances in technology and expertise in managing ventricular assist
devices, a wide variety of the devices are now available and allow the
team to tailor therapy to the patient’s needs and offer treatment
options that are only available at the nation’s leading heart
programs. Newark Beth Israel Medical Center was the first on the East
coast to implant the new DeBakey assist device and is the only center
in the state chosen to participate in the HeartMate II and Jarvik LVAD
trials. Within months of enrollment, the Heart Center at Newark Beth
Israel Medical Center became one of the top ten centers in the country
for the HeartMate II Destination trial.
