INTEGRIS Baptist Medical Center was the location for the very first implant of an investigational device called the Levacor™ Ventricular Assist Device (VAD ) manufactured by World Heart Corporation. Levacor is a next generation heart pump that utilizes a magnetically levitated rotating disk to circulate blood. The implant is considered a bridge to transplant for those in desperate need of a new heart.
