AAAN4303

HeartMate® III IDE Study

The HeartMate III Left Ventricular Assist System (LVAS) is a prospective, multi-center, study comparing the HeartMate III LVAS to the HeartMate II® LVAS in advanced stage heart failure patients. The study will be conducted as a staged pivotal study that includes a pre-specified early assessment for safety. Researchers at up to 60 centers will evaluate the device for use as long-term support for patients who are not candidates for cardiac transplant (also known as Destination Therapy). It will also be evaluated for short-term support options, for patients awaiting transplantation (Bridge-to-Transplantation).
