Mitral regurgitation:
Treatment is complex and options are limited
Treatment is complex and options are limited
Mitral regurgitation (MR) occurs in approximately 2% of the population, with up to 10% of people over 75 years old affected1
Medically managed patients with severe MR have poor outcomes2

Optimised leaflet capture
Empowering PASCAL delivery system with direct manoeuvring in 3 planes to improve procedural efficiency
Broad paddles create a wide area for simplified
leaflet capture
Independent leaflet capture supports gentle interaction and enables operators to capture leaflets in difficult pathologies
Designed for effective mitral regurgitation reduction3
Configuration delivers desired outcomes while respecting native anatomy
Excellent safety profile
Contoured paddles and a unique central spacer are designed to reduce leaflet stress while implant elongation helps promote safe subvalvular manoeuvring
