On May 5th, we opened a new lab for isolated perfused hearts. We are now able to implant our mitral valve repair devices in isolated animal and human hearts, showing the function of our implants. Direct endoscopic vision allows to monitor the deployment process and will guide interventionists for the training of clinical applications.The new facility extends the analysis of our AVVie repair systems. In addition, the AVVie integrated test facility can help enhance usability and mitigate use errors through repetitive usage of handling devices during the implantation process.
