The device’s modular design allows for hemodynamic support through multiple pumps anchored in parallel in the descending aorta. The design is expected to enable safe percutaneous implantation, with low risk of bleeding, stroke, and pump thrombosis, while providing sustained symptom relief, reduced re-hospitalizations and improved overall quality of ...
The Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF) is pleased to announce that Puzzle Medical Devices Inc. has won the TCT 2022 Shark Tank Innovation Competition for its novel circulatory support device that is implanted percutaneously in the abdominal aorta. The competition took place during Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT), the world’s premier educational meeting ...

The unique placement of the small but powerful micropump in the descending thoracic aorta is intended to simultaneously unload the heart and support the kidneys by accelerating native blood flow in the aorta. ...
Thoraflex Hybrid is a single use medical device combining a Gelweave polyester graft with a Nitinol self-expanding stent graft and is indicated for the open surgical repair or replacement of damaged or diseased vessels of the aortic arch and descending aorta with or without involvement of the ascending aorta in cases of aneurysm and/or ...
The device is percutaneously placed in the descending thoracic aorta for up to 7 days to simultaneously unload and rest the heart and increase perfusion of the kidneys. ...
The procedure was performed safely and easily due to the pump’s position in the aorta versus the heart, which allowed for rapid deployment of the catheter-based pump and significantly reduced the risk of stroke and damage to the heart,” stated Dr. ...
The first product in the platform, FDA-cleared for use in the descending aorta, is on the market now, while advanced development continues on this technology with the goals of improving surgical precision, efficiency, safety, and cost. ...
and a six-patient First-in-Human study¹°, Aortix benefits both the heart and the kidneys based on its unique design and placement in the descending thoracic aorta. Aortix can disrupt the harmful cardiorenal cycle in two ways: above the pump, it rests the heart by reducing aortic root pressure (afterload) resulting in increased cardiac output and decreased ...
” Thinner than a pencil and placed in less than ten minutes in a simple cath-lab procedure, Aortix™ offers hope for the large population of heart failure patients who are non-responders to medical therapy, but not ill enough to consider highly invasive and expensive surgical interventions like heart transplantation or LVAD implants. Placed in the descending thoracic ...
