Millipede's Play In Percutaneous Mitral Valve Repair
This article was originally published in Start Up
Executive Summary
As medtech strategics race to develop a percutaneously deliverable replacement mitral valve for patients with mitral regurgitation, start-ups tackle an array of mitral repair strategies. Building on a tried-and-true surgical approach, Millipede is developing a catheter-delivered adjustable annuloplasty ring that reduces annular dilation of the mitral valve in order to reduce or eliminate mitral regurgitation.
