Targeting the hemodynamic burden of heart failure
The UPright™ System is the first transcatheter pulmonary artery banding system, designed to reduce the rise in filling pressures that limits patients with HFrEF during exertion.
Healingthe right way
A new kind of device, designed to unload the left ventricle and address a core driver of heart failure.

Watch how it works
From the burden of heart failure to how the implant is delivered and how it is designed to work.
Building clinical evidence
Studied where it matters: invasively, during exercise
Early feasibility clinical data have shown the potential to lower exercise filling pressures, increase cardiac output reserve, and improve quality of life and exercise capacity in patients with HFrEF.
