Novel Cardiac Implants and Associated Catheter Systems to Treat Malfunctioning Cardiac Valves

Unmet NeedA common heart disorder seen in thousands of patients per year is regurgitation, a condition where the heart’s valves do not close sufficiently during systolic contraction, allowing for blood to leak from the ventricle into the atrium. This leakage varies from moderate to severe, and at high levels can put the patient at risk of many other...
