The Cardioband Annuloplasty System combines an implantable annuloplasty band, similar to the surgical band, with a transfemoral venous delivery system. Connection of the band to the mitral annulus is sutureless, using specially designed anchors. Size tuning of the implant is done under beating heart conditions and echocardiographic guidance for optimal results.
Cardioband Key Advantages:
The surgical gold standard solution implanted percutaneously
Direct Annuloplasty delivered via a transfemoral delivery system, with no need for open-heart surgery.
Image guided for optimal physiological fit
Size tuning of the implant is done under beating heart condition and echocardiography guidance for the optimal hemodynamic result.
First-Line Interventional Therapy
Preserves the option for future percutaneous or surgical valve replacement.
Deployment procedure is simple and reproducible
