When you need to reduce the work of the heart, turn to TandemHeart for a powerful percutaneous left ventricular unloading option.
Power to Recover
High-Level Percutaneous Support
Rest and Recover
A high level of percutaneous support — with 80% left ventricular unloading1 — allows the LV to rest and recover.
High Flow and Power
A unique left atrium-to-femoral artery transseptal cannula position provides up to 5 LPM flow and almost a full watt of cardiac power output.
Time to Decide
After initial rescue with the TandemLife kit, the ProtekSolo transseptal cannula can be added later for LV unloading in less time and cost.
Advanced hemodynamic support devices are designed to offer a high degree of circulatory support. Three percutaneous platforms are commercially available:
(1) percutaneous cardiopulmonary bypass (pCPB)
(2) intraluminal axial support (e.g., Impella)
(3) left atrium-to-femoral artery bypass (TandemHeart)
TandemHeart forged the temporary circulatory support device market with the launch of a one-of-a-kind Transseptal Cannula that offers a unique approach to circulatory support by balancing two critical factors: (1) a powerful pump for end organ perfusion and (2) transseptal cannulation of the left atrium to decompress and rest the left ventricle. Among all your available circulatory support options, only TandemHeart provides a steady supply of oxygenated blood to the organs while decompressing the left ventricle to reduce the work of the heart.
The TandemHeart kit components are indicated for temporary cardiopulmonary bypass up to 6 hours.
