Solution
for Temporary Mechanical
Circulatory Support
Developing a low-profile, high-flow percutaneous ventricular assist device (pVAD) for high risk coronary intervention and cardiogenic shock.
Clinical Need
Percutaneous ventricular assist devices (pVADs) are placed to provide temporary mechanical support, assisting the native pumping action of the heart and enabling patients to undergo necessary interventional procedures.
Patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) often require interventions such as angioplasty or stenting. Many patients with advanced disease or complicating comorbidities are not able to undergo percutaneous coronary interventional (PCI) procedures without the use of temporary support from a pVAD.
Patients that have a severe heart attack can suffer from cardiogenic shock (CS). During CS, a patient’s heart is too weak to adequately pump blood to vital organs and a pVAD may be required.
Solution
Next Generation Solution for Temporary Mechanical Circulatory Support
High-flow from a low-profile catheter pump designed to minimize vascular complications
Aiming to provide real-time, accurate monitoring of pump performance and location
Robust platform intended to address both high-risk PCI and cardiogenic shock patients
