Executive Summary
The first left ventricular assist device (LVAD) to receive FDA approval as a primary therapy (rather than as a bridge to heart transplantation) is an older generation device with limited durability. With its third generation LVAD, MiTiHeart hopes it has the proper combination of a simple, robust and manufacturable design, low power consumption, and low rates of hemolysis, to serve a large, unmet need in congestive heart failure patients needing a permanent implant.
