00:00France introduces artificial heart that could last a lifetime without donors.
00:05French company CARMAT unveiled the ASIN artificial heart, built to last a lifetime and offer hope
00:10to patients with severe heart failure amid donor shortages.
00:17The ASIN heart replaces a failing heart, supporting both ventricles.
00:21It combines bioprosthetic tissue with synthetic components to minimize rejection risks, thereby
00:27ensuring long-term performance.
00:32ASIN uses Vigone's vascular grafts to link with arteries, while sensors track pressure
00:37and flow, adjusting pump rates to mimic natural heartbeats for better function and quality
00:43of life.
00:47Since 2013, over 100 ASIN implants have been done worldwide.
00:52Unlike temporary models, its latest design focuses on long-term durability as a permanent
00:57heart solution.
01:02FDA-approved trials are testing ASIN's safety and effectiveness.
01:06Early results show strong survival rates and fewer complications, supporting its long-term
01:11viability.
01:15ASIN debuted in the US in 2021 at Duke Hospital.
01:20With FDA trials underway, CARMAT targets approval by mid-decade, eyeing a 2028 launch and global
01:27use for end-stage heart failure.
01:33The artificial heart could transform heart failure care by cutting donor reliance, reducing
01:38wait times and improving outcomes with its adaptive, biocompatible design and lifelong support.
01:47CARMAT, maker of the ASIN artificial heart, has filed for insolvency after failing to secure
01:52emergency funds.
01:54This puts its future and broader access to ASIN at risk, pending court and investor decisions.
