 Our Solution CorAssist is developing a pipeline of elastic, self-expanding devices that are attached to the left ventricle, either externally or internally. The devices operate by transferring energy harnessed during systole (contraction) to the left ventricle during diastole (relaxation) to improve diastolic performance. CorAssist’s devices deal with the core problems of diastolic heart failure – the stiffening of the myocardial tissue and impaired relaxation – by directly enhancing the elastic characteristics of the left ventricular wall. ImCardia™ The ImCardia™ is an elastic self-expanding device that is attached to the external left ventricle surface of the heart through a simple off-pump procedure. It applies an outward expansion force on the ventricular wall to enlarge left ventricular end diastolic volume. ImCardia™ MIS The ImCardia™ MIS is a second generation, minimally invasive version of the ImCardia™ device. It will allow for smaller incisions, less patient trauma and faster recovery times. The device will be delivered by left thoracotomy CORolla The CORolla is an elastic device implanted inside the left ventricle in a minimally invasive or percutaneous procedure. The device applies direct internal expansion forces distributed on the left ventricle wall and the septum to improve diastolic function. |
