Abstract Thermo Cardiosystems Inc. is a leader in the research, development and manufacture of implantable left ventricular assist systems (LVAS) for patients whose hearts are too damaged or diseased to produce adequate blood flow. Thermo Cardiosystems Inc. has been at the forefront of research and development in heart-assist technology for 35 years, the last 11 as a dynamic public company that has successfully commercialized two versions of our HeartMate LVAS. When implanted alongside the natural heart to take over the pumping function of the left ventricle, the HeartMate LVAS has helped sustain the lives of more than 2,200 people battling heart disease.
