After you have identified your heart failure patient as an appropriate candidate for the CardioMEMS™ HF System, you will schedule them for an implant or refer them to an implanting cardiologist for the procedure.
The CardioMEMS™ PA Sensor is optimally inserted into the left descending PA. At the discretion of the implanting physician, the sensor may be inserted into the right PA, depending on the patient’s anatomy. The sensor is about the size of a paper clip when deployed in the target pulmonary artery (PA). See actual size image and product schematic image below.
This animation visually explains the implant procedures, but note that each implanting physician will have their own unique procedural techniques.
