A Shanghai-produced aortic heart valve has been implanted in a 70-year-old patient at a local hospital for the first time since its approval. The VitaFlow valve developed by MicroPort based in Zhangjiang High-Tech Park in the Pudong New Area was successfully implanted into the heart of the male patient on Wednesday at Zhongshan Hospital.

In Western countries, about 2 percent of those above 65 years suffer the condition, while the rate doubles in those over 85 years old. Without treatment, patients rarely survive more than three years. Compared with traditional heart valve replacement surgery, transcatheter aortic valve replacement only requires a 6-millimeter incision on the patients’ leg, so it can be used on patients who are too sick or too old for conventional operations.

Global transcatheter was valued at US XX Mn and expected grow at XX% Compound Growth Rate (CAGR) over 2018 2024. Transcatheter is used treat regurgitation (MR). Mitral disease is second most common valvular disease in adults. is classified as either (degenerative) or secondary (functional). Primary from degenerative disease Transcatheter (percutaneous) Mitral is due disruption apparatus from either or flail on other is due remodeling left ventricle resulting coaptation Trans catheter implantation procedure helps in replacing with prosthetic for treatment severe stenosis and regurgitation. This increases survival rate New heart valve patients and helps in severe degenerative stenosis. in prevalence disorders and increasing aging are expected drive.
