Micro Interventional Devices: Creating A Tool Box For Structural Heart Disease
Executive Summary
Micro Interventional Devices was founded around opportunities in addressing the procedural challenges that limit patient access to transcatheter heart valves. The company’s initial focus is on developing a transcatheter valve for the replacement of the mitral valve, and an easy and effective transapical access and closure method for transcatheter mitral and aortic valve procedures. The company’s mission, though, is to broadly focus on advancing structural heart disease treatments, and MID’s first-generation technology has potential application to several areas of structural heart disease, including PFO/atrial septal defect closure, left atrial appendage closure and cardiac ablations.
