• The first heart valve implanted to the patient was completed at the Cleveland Clinic;
• Corcym designed by a Perceval Plus artificial aortic valve was implanted using Cardioprecy, Corcym said Monday.
• The valve was delivered to the patient’s heart through a small incision at the base of the neck. Cleveland clinic surgeon Marijan Koprivanac used a robotic aid called advanced visual aortic valve operation transcervic, implanted valve.

Diving insight:

Corcym tries to create a minimally invasive approach to valve surgery, which can offer patients better results than changing the transcatetro aortic valve, – said CEO Christian Mazzi in the interview.

Tavr, where the replacement valve is a thread through the arteries into the heart through a catheter, has become popular because it is less invasive than an open heart surgery that needs to divide the patient’s sternum. Edwards Lifesciences and Medronic are headed by the TVR device market.

However, the traditional valve operation still provides better long -term clinical results. „After all, surgery is the best, most durable intervention you can do for the patient,” Mazzi said. „It has been shown to last longer, and eventually do better.”

The Corcym Transceervitic approach allows the physician to eliminate the sick tissue during the procedure and seeks to empower the results similar to traditional surgery, without the benefits of TAU, such as less pain, faster recovery and less scarring. The Cardioprecision Corevista platform works with a robot to support the procedure.

„This is the whole thing we are trying to achieve through a minimally invasive operation,” Mazzi said. „The entire Tavr advantage is short -lived, taking into account all the benefits of the operation in the long run.”

Combining artificial heart valve with new surgical technology means that patients should experience less pain and time in hospital after heart surgery, Cleveland Clinic Koprivanac report said. „In fact, we think it can be one of the least invasive surgical options for changing heart valve that can now be replaced,” Koprivanac said.
