Dick Cheney has now switched to a left ventricular assist system (LVAS) or as it is usually called a left ventricular assist device (LVAD). It appears to be the HeartMate II manufactured by Thoratec (THOR). It may be time to trade the Medtronic for Thoratec.
I bought XTO with the thought of keeping it forever but is was bought out by XOM. If Medtronic hasn't been acquired by now it may have run its' course.
