Anteris Technologies Ltd (ASX:AVR, OTC:AMEUF) CEO Wayne Paterson tells Proactive the company’s flagship transcatheter heart valve has been successfully implanted during a valve-in-valve procedure as part of Health Canada’s Special Access Program (SAP). The procedure is used in life-threatening situations where a patient’s bioprosthetic aortic valve is failing due to calcification or structural deterioration, meaning a new heart valve must be implanted inside the failing valve. Paterson says the successful procedure further validates the company’s extensive pre-clinical valve-in-valve work as well as its clinical experience in native aortic stenosis.
