HeartMate 3 LVAD

With Full Maglev Flow Technology

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 thrombus4,5

HeartMate 3 LVAD Product Information

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:

79% 2-year survival rate
80% of patients saw Sustained Improvement

Improved Safety Profile

10% Stroke | 1% Thrombosis

Lowest hemocompatibility-related adverse events of any LVAD§*1,8-10

HeartMate 3 LVAD Education and Training

For the safe and effective management of advanced heart failure with the HeartMate 3 LVAD, we provide comprehensive educational resources. The following resources are designed to help you better understand patient education, use cases, surgical procedure and more.
