Transcatheter Mitral Repair with Basal Aneurysm Subvalvular Spacer MBASS
Project Abstract:
Dr Navia and Dr Kapadia have developed a novel transcatheter subvalvular repair technique to place an implant in the basal aneurysm location for functional itral valve or tricuspid valve regurgitation patients The role of the implant is to bring a mitral or tricuspid leaflet forward toward a medial position and close the ap with its neighboring leaflet structures While one leaflet beats the other is stationary in a favorable position This displacement has been shown to be effective in resolving functional mitral valve regurgitation The implant has been designed and the goal of this NCAI project is to further tackle product development on a delivery system and product integration with the vision to have an FDA discussion during the span of the project period
