VALFIX Medical is an early-stage fast-moving start-up company.
VALFIX Medical is developing a complete transcatheter repair solution, based on its multi-wire technology, offering a viable alternative to open-heart valve surgery.
VALFIX technology is designed to eliminate mitral regurgitation (MR) in over 90% of severe MR patients
VALFIX is creating a solution that is the closest to the surgical standard in transcatheter mitral valve repair and replacement
The Need/Opportunity:
Mitral regurgitation (MR) is one of the most prevalent and disabling heart conditions worldwide. Currently, the standard treatment for severe MR is open heart surgery.
Globally there are more than 15 million Mitral Regurgitation patients, 4.5 million are suffering from severe MR.
Only 2% of the 4.5 million severe MR patients undergo open heart surgery. The remaining 98% are sent home with drug therapy alone, resulting in nearly 50% of them dying within 2 years.
The current available treatments for MR patients with heart failure are limited. Surgical repair and replacement are controversial, and new treatments are insufficient.
