About HeartMate 3 LVAD

The HeartMate​ 3™​ Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) is a mechanical circulatory support device designed for patients with advanced heart failure. With significantly improved outcomes and survival comparable to heart transplant at 2 years, our LVAD technology is making a better future possible for many patients with advanced heart failure.*^1-3 The HeartMate​ 3 LVAD has advanced the field of LVAD therapy and is setting the standard with innovation and outstanding clinical outcomes.¹

The Full MagLev™ Flow Technology within the HeartMate 3 LVAD maintains gentle blood handling to minimize complications and hemocompatibility-related adverse events.

HeartMate 3 LVAD with Full MagLev Flow Technology offers:

• Fully levitated, self-centering rotor, which does not require hydrodynamic or mechanical bearings
• Large, consistent blood flow pathways, which reduces shear stress⁴
• Intrinsic pulsatility, which reduces stasis and minimize thrombus^4,5

HeartMate 3 LVAD Clinical Evidence

There are comprehensive clinical evidence materials available to learn about the survival rate and patient improvement associated with the HeartMate 3 LVAD. For a deep dive into the clinical data, visit the Clinical Evidence and Journal Article information.

Highlights from Long-Term MOMENTUM 3 Study

In the largest LVAD trial ever conducted, clinicians studied the safety and effectiveness of the HeartMate 3 LVAD in patients with advanced heart failure and who were indicated for mechanical circulatory support with an LVAD. The study showed:

Improved Safety Profile

This device is commercially available for use in select international markets.
