The development of technology and limitation of numerous ventricular assist devices has increased usage of the total artificial heart (TAH) for mechanical circulatory support. A primary important feature of TAH is that it is one of the few mechanical circulatory support devices that provides biventricular support. As the number of patients with TAH rises, spreading awareness about the device in the interventional radiology community is important.
