They had smaller left ventricular end diastolic diameter (64.8 vs. 69.3\u00a0mm). Pump speed and pump flows at discharge were lower in the small BSA group. Survival at 1\u00a0year and 2\u00a0years was 86% versus 87% and 86% versus 79% for small versus large BSA groups (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.408), respectively. The rates of adverse events were similar between groups and there were no cases of confirmed pump thrombosis.
