Data from the first five patients participating in the TAVI-1 trial, found there was clinical improvement within one year, with patients achieving freedom from being re-hospitalised due to complications following the implantation of the valve.

Founder and president of the company, Mano Thubrikar, said: “We have completed 1-year follow-up on 5 patients in Poland, and the data on pressure gradient and effective orifice area of the Optimum TAV is superior to that published on any transcatheter aortic valve of comparable size.

“The one and five-year patient outcomes are a testament to the superior design of the Optimum TAV. For the ongoing evolution of TAVI, the Optimum TAV has the durability required for younger patients. We look forward to bringing this technology to more patients and demonstrating the control offered by our new Precision 2 Catheter.”
