Christ Hospital Becomes First in the Midwest to implant EVAHEART2 LVAD

The Evaheart Team is so excited to work with The Christ Hospital in Cincinnati, OH for their 1st EVA2 Implant! We look forward to continuing to provide patient’s with the best LVAD care possible with our device. Below are some testimonials from the surgeons and staff on-site.

“We are the most experienced LVAD center in the region and EVAHEART keeps us in the forefront of innovative procedures,” Geoff Answini, MD, Chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery at The Christ Hospital Health Network. “We strive to offer our patients the best and most innovative technologies for their heart disease. Taking part in clinical trials like the EVAHEART2 ensures that patients at The Christ Hospital Health Network have access to leading-edge care.”

“Becoming the first healthcare network to bring this procedure to the state of Ohio required a collaborative effort from our experienced multi-disciplinary team that includes Eugene Chung, MD, Thomas O’Brien, MD, Timothy Raymond, DO, and Ankit Bhatia, MD, in heart failure, Robert Dowling, MD, and J. Michael Smith, MD, in cardiac surgery and our tremendous team of dedicated nurse practitioners, nurses and cardiovascular technicians,” said Gregory Egnaczyk, MD. “This shows, once again, that we have everything it takes to care for heart patients in our community.”
