ImaValve Public Summary

After 4 years the ImaValve project has been completed end of 2017. It resulted in the creation of a novel synthetic heart valve prosthesis, which has the potential to gradually transform inside the body into a living, durable aortic heart valve. The synthetic heart valve is delivered through a minimally invasive procedure, eliminating the need for open heart surgery. The prosthesis is expected to improve quality of life and reduce the burden of heart valve disease with significant social and economic benefits. Click here to read more about it.
