BURLINGTON, Mass., Dec. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- BrioHealth Solutions announces it has reached a major milestone with the 100th enrollment in the INNOVATE Trial of the BrioVAD® System, a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD). The BrioVAD® System represents an innovative approach to addressing the unmet clinical needs in advanced heart failure care. It has been designed to augment blood flow, enhance patient comfort, and minimize complications, all while prioritizing patient well-being and reduce the occurrence of adverse events associated with advanced heart failure treatment, providing patients with peace of mind and the invaluable gift of more time to enjoy life.
"Reaching the 100th BrioVAD® enrollment implantation in the INNOVATE Trial is a remarkable milestone for our entire organization and, more importantly, for the patients we aim to serve," said Chen Chen, Ph.D. CEO of BrioHealth Solutions.
