Venstra Medical has developed the smallest and most powerful next-generation temporary cardiac assist device, a percutaneous catheter-based pump (pVAD) protected by 7 issued patents, that allows for the device to be collapsed into a low-profile 9Fr catheter for insertion. Once expanded across the aortic valve the device provides full cardiac support up, to 7L/min, for cardiogenic shock patients and patients undergoing high risk coronary interventions.
