Product Description
The Corheart® 6 implantable Left Ventricular Assist System is a miniature implantable circulatory support system for the treatment of end-stage heart failure. The weight of the Corheart® 6 blood pump is only 90 g, which is the smallest and lightest implantable fully magnetically levitated LVAD in the current world.
On the basis of not affecting the original ejection channel of the heart, the Corheart 6 implantable left ventricular assist system builds an auxiliary flow channel to let the blood flow from the left ventricle into the Corheart 6 pump through the inlet pipe. The blood is pushed out through the outlet pipe by the centrifugal force and finally flows into the ascending aorta through the artificial blood vessel, thus assisting the blood circulation of the patient.
Patients need to carry the extracorporeal controller after imlantation. The weight of the controller and two small batteries is only 800g, which has little impact on daily life.
As the patients recover, they can carry out most of their daily activities, such as walking, taking a shower, riding a bicycle, and travel.
Only a small amount of postoperative drugs needs to be taken , which are mainly anticoagulant drugs and the cost was relatively low.
