Shares of Carmat SA rose the most in seven years on Thursday after the French company received approval to sell the first fully artificial heart in Europe, according to Bloomberg.

The French company has obtained the EC score for its artificial heart, which means that Carmat can now sell its product in the European Union as a bridge for heart transplants for patients suffering from end-stage heart failure.

French cardiac surgeon Alain Carpentier proposed to businessman Jean-Luc Lagardere to develop an artificial heart in 1993. The latter offered Carpentier a series of facilities: various laboratories and engineers from his Matra missile company.

Therefore, the project has expanded over the years, including through mergers, as Matra is now part of the European Airbus SE group.
