    July 21, 2023 — Onecrea Medical has announced the success of the first-in-human implants of its Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) system for the treatment of aortic stenosis. While TAVR technology has been around since 2007, Onecrea Medical’s team of scientists and engineers worked towards creating a next-generation TAVR. A common complication with the TAVR/ procedures is dislodging of the implant or perivalvular leak (PVL) due to an improper fit of the valve. Onecrea Medical’s valve has a unique concave and convex structure that anchors the valve effectively in the aortic annulus. The valve also features differential radial force in different parts, imparting low or high radial forces to the valve depending on the location within the annulus and aorta. In addition, the delivery system has been improved for greater control and accuracy of valve implantation. Crea Aortic valves are rigorously tested for over 200 million fatigue cycles and over 140 days in animal trials. Thes

    March 16, 2023 — Cardiologists at the UW Medicine Heart Institute recently performed a first-in-the-world procedure, detaching and retrieving a clip device from a patient’s mitral valve and placing a replacement biologic valve — all through a catheter. Previously this sequence of tasks had been performed only via open surgery. The patient, John Steenmeyer, 76, of Bellingham, Wash., was discharged…
