AvA™ Aortic Valve Bypass Graft System Slide Gallery Simple Slide Format
Heart Valve Therapy Has RemainedUnchanged Over the Last 30 Years Diseased Aortic Valve
Unserved Patient Population is Driving the Development of Alternative Treatments • Difficulty Tolerating Cardiopulmonary Bypass • No Surgical Option • High MortalityRisk
Alternative Therapies under Development • Aortic Valve Bypass Graft (AVBG) • Transcatheter Valve
AVBG Clinical History • Human Experience • “On pump” • Non-standardized components • Physiology works • Reduced pressure gradients • Normal coronary flow • 20+ year survival
AvA = Apex Valve Aorta AvA Valve Bypass System Implant Access Tool
5th ICS How It Works
AVBG Competitive Advantages • Eliminates Heart-Lung Bypass • Minimize Incision • Reduce Complications • Reduce Costs • Reduce Hospital Stay • Uses Established Heart Valve • Long Implant History • Surgeon Acceptance • Broad Clinical Application • Bicuspid or Tricuspid • Coronary Artery Disease
Transcatheter Competition “While the current operative mortality is too high, it is improving and with hundreds of millions of dollars being invested, it’s hard to bet against them.” Anonymous venture capitalist Edwards LifeScienceest. $350 MM development program Medtronicest. $1.2 B development program Other Start-upsest. $250 MM Est. Total Transcatheter Investment – $1.8 Billion
Transcatheter Competition “While the current operative mortality is too high, it is improving and withhundreds of millions of dollars being invested, it’s hard to bet against them.” Anonymous venture capitalist Does not fit Into bicuspid shaped valves Dislodges particles to brain Prevents future coronary interventions Disrupts Heartbeat 40 % of pts. over age 70 have a bicuspid valve 5 - 10 % Stroke Rate 65 % of pts. over age 70 with a stenotic tricuspid valve have CAD 20-30 % Pacemaker implantation Est. Total Transcatheter Investment – $1.8 Billion
