Our sibling site Medical Tubing + Extrusion reports that the company successfully completed case studies in South America with its Whisper percutaneous mechanical circulatory support device.
Dr. Adrian Ebner, head of the cardiovascular department at the Sanatorio Italiano Hospital in Asuncion, Paraguay, and his team completed non-randomized case studies involving six patients. Second Heart Assist says the successful case studies pave the way for expanded initiatives in the United States.
Whisper is a percutaneous mechanical circulatory support device designed to enhance cardiac function and renal perfusion in patients suffering from acute decompensated heart failure. The case studies in Paraguay focused on using Whisper to support cardiovascular hemodynamics during high-risk percutaneous coronary interventions.
