</span>Aortix is a pump thinner than a #2 pencil. It is the first percutaneous mechanical circulatory support (pMCS) device whose design is uniquely suited to address cardiorenal syndrome in chronic heart failure patients who are failing medical therapy, but
not sick enough for risky surgical interventions like heart transplants or LVADs. The unique placement of the small but powerful micropump in the descending thoracic aorta is intended to simultaneously unload the heart and support the kidneys by accelerating
native blood flow in the aorta.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
