Innovation Driven Enterprise Track

1st Place: Meacor

Mitral valve regurgitation is a common valvular disease with a prevalence of 2% in North America. When left untreated it leads to a decrease in the quality of life of patients and can lead to heart failure. Given the growing population of elderly patients with multiple comorbidities, the risk for conventional surgery is elevated. There are efforts to develop less invasive, percutaneous approaches. However, most do not reproduce the benefits of the conventional open-heart treatment. Meacor is developing a novel percutaneous repair procedure for the heart that mimics the current standard of care open-heart ring annuloplasty. Such an approach would allow to treat many patients with severe regurgitation that currently are not candidates for surgery, all the while reducing their recovery times and hospitalization costs.
