The HeartMate 3™ LVAD is implanted by a cardiac surgeon in a hospital using standard surgical procedures and care. During the surgery, the LVAD is placed inside the chest and attached to the left ventricle of the heart and to the aorta.
Once the LVAD is in place, the driveline is passed through the skin of the abdomen and connected to the controller and a power supply. After the patient leaves the hospital, they will have regular checkups with the LVAD care team.
This video introduces the HeartMate 3 LVAD, describing at a high-level the implant procedure and each of the system components.
This video describes how to inspect and prepare each of the components used in the implant procedure of the HeartMate 3 LVAD.
This video shows how to set up the system controller for the HeartMate 3 LVAD.
