New Frontiers in Transcatheter Heart Valve Technologies
ByThe first prototype of a transcatheter heart valve prosthesis was developed as far back as 1965 by Dr Hywel Davies. More than 40 years on, the market for these devices, which offer a minimally-invasive alternative for replacing diseased heart valves to conventional surgery, is grwoing at double-digit rates. In this whitepaper, Sarah Zanon, senior clinical project manager of D-Target, discusses the competitive landscape of the transcatheter aortic valve implant market and also opportunities in the area of transcatheter mitral valve repair.
