Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
All eligible subjects will receive the CentriMag Ventricular Assist System. The system is comprised of a single-use centrifugal blood pump, a motor, a primary drive console, a back up drive console and cannulae. Blood from the failing heart is directed from the ventricle or the atrium to the inlet of the pump via an inlet cannula. Blood exits through the outlet port of the pump through the outlet cannula ultimately to the pulmonary or systemic circulation. The system can be used in either a right, left or biventricular configuration.
