In this video series, Professor Nicolas van Mieghem will discuss the benefits of iVAC 2L ® in clinical practice and will share the learnings and key outcomes from the Pulse Trial, and the effect of next generation pulsatile mechanical circulatory support (MCS).
This video is supported by PulseCath in collaboration with their co-sponsors: CardiRad, Sanomed, LeviBio, Thomy F.E., Sonimed and Dot Medical.
