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 years1-3  and 5 years,4-7 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 stress8
  • Intrinsic pulsatility, which reduces stasis and minimize thrombus8,9

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 information.


MOMENTUM 3 5-Year Outcomes

MOMENTUM 3 is the largest LVAD trial ever conducted demonstrating excellent survival and safety outcomes with HeartMate 3™ LVAD.**1


HEARTMATE 3™ LVAD, a proven long-term, life-extending therapy for patients with advanced heart failure

Median survival
exceeding
5 years4

58.4%
survival at
5 years4

Improved Safety Profile5

The ELEVATE Registry5 evaluated the real-world experience of the HeartMate 3 LVAD in a post-approval setting. 5-year extended follow-up showed:
 

Stroke
10.8% in first 2 years
3.6% in years 2-5

Thrombosis
1.1% at 5 years

All major event types were reduced in the 2-5 years follow-up period compared to 0-2 years, especially hemocompatiblity-related adverse events.

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.
