Each technology will fulfill a currently unmet need in cardiovascular medical procedures by improving upon existing technology, or by designing a device to serve a need that is clearly defined and acknowledged by medical professionals.
The Phoenix Cardiac device, called BACE (Basal Annuloplasty of the Cardia Externally), represents a novel modality to treat functional mitral regurgitation because it addresses the root cause of the condition: a heart muscle that is enlarged and weakened. In many cases, the mitral valve itself is structurally normal, but the muscle that supports the valve is weakened and stretched.
