BROOKLYN PARK, Minnesota, 7 de marzo de 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- 4C Medical Technologies, Inc. (en adelante, 4C Medical), empresa productora de tecnologías mínimamente traumáticas para cardiopatías estructurales, ha anunciado hoy que AltaValve™, su producto sanitario destinado al tratamiento de la insuficiencia mitral (IM), fue reconocido con el primer puesto en el concurso del CRT (Tecnologías en Investigación Cardiovascular), que tuvo lugar del 3 al 6 de marzo en Washington D. C.

"AltaValve va a dar respuesta a una verdadera necesidad clínica no satisfecha", afirmó el doctor Philippe Généreux, codirector del Programa Cardíaco Estructural del Instituto Cardiovascular Gagnon, perteneciente al Centro Médico Morristown, en Morristown (Nueva Jersey), y cardiólogo intervencionista en activo en el Hospital del Sagrado Corazón de Montreal, en Montreal (Canadá). "Este producto, que se coloca por vía transeptal, va a constituir una opción terapéutica para una amplia población de afectados de IM que incluye a pacientes que pueden ser tratados con otros sistemas de reemplazo transcateteriano de la válvula mitral (RTVM), otros que no pueden ser tratados con sistemas RTVM e incluso enfermos en los que antes ya ha fallado la reparación mitral".

El doctor Généreux destacó el papel de AltaValve en la presentación titulada "Una tecnología novedosa de tratamiento transcateteriano de la IM", que formó parte de la sesión de Innovaciones Cardiovasculares de la CRT.

"A pesar de que el mercado del RTVM está abarrotado de productos que intentan encajar en el anillo nativo de la válvula mitral, que es irregular y dinámico, AltaValve es el único que de verdad se diferencia de los demás gracias a su ubicación supraanular y su fijación exclusivamente auricular, y es funcional con independencia de las causas de la insuficiencia mitral", manifestó el doctor Jeffrey Chambers, fundador y director médico de 4C Medical, así como director del Laboratorio de Cateterismo Cardíaco del Instituto Cardíaco y Vascular Metropolitano de Mineápolis (Minnesota).

En esta edición del CRT, el doctor Chambers presentó "Soluciones de 4C que permiten conservar la válvula mitral nativa" en el marco de la sesión de Innovaciones Pulmonares, Tricúspides y Mitrales.

AltaValve, pensada para evitar los problemas ya conocidos que plantean las actuales tecnologías de RTVM, presenta una ubicación supraanular con respecto a la válvula mitral nativa y, gracias a su posición exclusivamente auricular, permite conservar las estructuras cardíacas de importancia crítica en el interior del ventrículo izquierdo, como las cuerdas tendinosas y el infundíbulo ventricular izquierdo. Así mismo, con AltaValve quedan a un lado los problemas referidos a la complejidad y variabilidad del anillo mitral, lo que hace que este producto resulte apto para una población de pacientes más amplia.

"Lo exclusivo del concepto de este sistema, combinado con la excepcionalidad y la unidad de nuestro equipo, sigue redundando en la realización de avances extraordinarios", declaró Robert Thatcher, consejero delegado de 4C Medical. "Este galardón da testimonio de la fuerza que constantemente nos mueve hacia el objetivo último de brindar opciones terapéuticas nuevas a pacientes que tal vez carezcan de alguna en la actualidad".

Acerca de 4C Medical Technologies, Inc.
4C Medical Technologies, Inc. es una empresa fabricante de aparatos médicos que crea tratamientos mínimamente traumáticos para las cardiopatías estructurales, fin con el que se centró inicialmente en el tratamiento de la insuficiencia mitral (IM) y posteriormente en el de la insuficiencia tricuspídea. El sistema Alta Valve de la empresa es el primer tipo de tratamiento para la IM en el que se aplican una colocación supraanular y una fijación exclusivamente auricular, con conservación del anillo mitral y el ventrículo izquierdo nativos, y que permite así evitar los problemas ya conocidos que causan otras tecnologías de reemplazo transcateteriano de la válvula mitral, basadas en la colocación y fijación del implante en el anillo mitral y el ventrículo izquierdo nativos.
