The Need

1 in 8 people over 75 years old suffer from valvular heart disease (VHD), while aortic regurgitation is the third most common VHD. Patients suffering from moderate to severe aortic regurgitation (AR) face a notable absence of minimally invasive repair options, underscoring a significant gap in the provision of medical care.

Aortic Stenosis

Narrowing of the aortic valve opening and restricting the amount of blood flowing through

Aortic Regurgitation 

Leakage of blood through the aortic valve each time the left ventricle relaxes (diastole)

Current Treatment and Challenges:

Currently, treatment options for aortic regurgitation (AR) are limited. While transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) addresses severe aortic stenosis by relying on calcification for anchoring, it faces challenges. AR cases are often absence calcification, necessitating surgical aortic valve replacement, which carries risks such as serious complications, prolonged hospital stays, and long recovery. In addition, TAVI is not approved for patients with severe native aortic valve regurgitation.

The Solution

Cusper™ device a Transcatheter Aortic Valve Repair

An artificial cusp seamlessly merges with the native aortic valve and prevents backward blood flow into the left ventricle during diastole, ensuring comprehensive and effective repair.

The Cusper™ device offers a unique solution that preserves future choices by enabling AR repair today while allowing flexibility for transcatheter aortic valve implantation options in the future, ensuring that all options remain open.
