The Magenta Elevate device, developed by the company Magenta Medical is a catheter-mounted, self-expandable, and retrievable microaxial flow pump designed to actively transport blood from the left ventricle to the ascending aorta.
It is intended for temporary mechanical circulatory support of the left ventricle during high-risk percutaneous coronary interventions and in patients hospitalized with cardiogenic shock.
It can deliver over 5 Liters per minute of mean flow from the left ventricle to the ascending aorta.
The impeller features a helical design that allows for its radial constraining for crimping and vascular insertion.
Once positioned within the left ventricle, the impeller self-expands to its working shape.
