HeartMate 3 LVAD

With Full Maglev Flow Technology

HeartMate 3 LVAD Journal Articles

The following journal articles help illustrate the clinical evidence for the HeartMate 3™ LVAD with Full MagLev™ Flow Technology:

  • Final 2-yr follow-up of the full cohort (n=1,028 patients) looking at survival at 2 years free of disabling stroke (>3 mRS) or reoperation to replace or remove a malfunctioning device. Mehra, et al. NEJM 2019. DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa1900486

    The data from two-year follow-up of the MOMENTUM 3 full cohort demonstrates:

    • Clinical superiority of the HeartMate 3 LVAS when compared to the HeartMate II LVAS
    • Significantly less frequent rate for pump replacement with HeartMate 3 LVAS
    • Significantly lower rate of stroke and disabling stroke with HeartMate 3 LVAS
    • Significantly lower rate of GI bleeding with HeartMate 3 LVAS
    • Significantly lower rate of pump thrombosis with HeartMate 3 LVAS
  • Zimpfer D, Gustafsson F, Potapov E, Pya Y, Schmitto J, Berchtold-Herz M, Morshuis M, Shaw S, Saeed D, Lavee J, Heatley G, Gazzola C, Garbade J; on behalf of the ELEVATE Investigators. European Heart Journal (2020) 41, pg. 3801–3809.

    Multi-center, multi-national, observational registry. Enrollment of 540 consecutive patients in 26 centers. After 2-year follow-up post-implant ELEVATE demonstrates good 2-year survival and improvement in functional capacity and quality of life with the HeartMate 3 LVAS system in a real-world population. Low stroke rate and pump thrombosis rates are sustained up to 2 years. Low transplant rate (10%).

MOMENTUM 3 Trial: 5 year HeartMate 3 LVAD Results

The MOMENTUM 3 (Multicenter Study of MagLev Technology in Patients Undergoing Mechanical Circulatory Support Therapy with HeartMate 3) investigational device exemption (IDE) clinical study was designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of HeartMate 3 Left Ventricular Assist System (LVAS) by demonstrating non-inferiority to the HeartMate II™ LVAS when used for the treatment of advanced refractory left ventricular heart failure.
