CSS is a mechanical, ventricular assist device ventricular assist device: see under heart, artificial. that temporarily supports a failing heart by applying external pressure, or actually squeezing the heart itself, to enhance blood flow throughout the body. As a temporary therapeutic device, the system will fill a significant and currently unmet market niche between minimally invasive devices such as intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABPs) that are not consistently effective and highly invasive devices such as ventricular assist devices (VADs) that require surgical placement and substantial follow-up therapy. CTI currently is readying the CSS for feasibility and clinical trials in Europe and the U.S., with the goal of launching European sales in late 1999 and U.S. sales in early 2001. At the AHA meeting, researchers associated with CTI will present the results of key animal studies demonstrating the effectiveness of the CSS technology. To arrange a meeting in Dallas with CTI regarding the coming launch of the Cardio Support System, please contact Gerard Carney at 212-521-5233 or Jamie Stitzer at 212-521-5247, Powell Tate New York. |
