Our Vision

Our vision is to provide physicians and patients with new non-surgical modalities for safe and effective treatment of heart valve morbidities, in particular – mitral valve regurgitation.

The introduction of novel catheter technologies to replace a defective mitral valve may dramatically alter the existing approach for treating mitral regurgitation. Innovalve’s TMVR System will allow physicians to offer therapy to patients who suffer from mitral regurgitation, and who currently have no good and safe solution/intervention for their condition. Innovalve’s TMVR System has the ability to transform these patients markets from either surgery-based or repair-only options, to include minimally invasive TMVR. Thus, providing clinical benefit comparable to mitral valve replacement surgery, with the lower risks associated with a minimally invasive approach.
