French company makes first Sale of artificial heart

NNA - French prosthetics maker Carmat said on Monday (July 19) it had sold one of its artificial hearts for the first time since its 2008 founding, for implantation into an Italian patient awaiting a transplant.

Carmat’s certification was based on results from a study known as PIVOTAL, launched in 2016 and still under way.
