The MOMENTUM 3 study included more than 1,000 patients with New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class IIIB or IV heart failure. Patients were followed for a short-term endpoint of six months and a long-term endpoint of two years. Two-year data on the first 366 patients enrolled into the study were presented at the American College of Cardiology's (ACC) 67th Annual Scientific Session in March 2018 and simultaneously published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

The HeartMate 3 system includes the LVAD pump as well as other components that help power and monitor the technology including an external, wearable controller and battery system. The HeartMate 3 system received CE Mark in Europe for both short-term and long-term support in October 2015 and U.S. FDA approval for short-term support in August 2017.
