Debakey, M.D., from Baylor College of Medicine (U.S.A., Houston), support of Prof. G. Noon, M.D. and scientific attempts of Prof. Süha Küçükaksu, M.D. and they were successfully used in Ankara on 11.04.2001 by Prof. Erol Şener, M.D., and Prof. Oğuz Taşdemir, M.D. The preliminary practices were carried out to make the patients survive until heart transplant is performed (bridge to transplantation) (First Turkish experience with the MicroMed DeBakey VAD®.DS Kucukaksu, E Sener, A, GP Noon, O Tasdemir
