Development of a novel minimally invasive medicaldevice to treat mitral regurgitation

Entwicklung eines neuartigen minimal-invasiven Medizingerät zur Behandlung von Mitralklappeninsuffizienz

  • In the scope of this thesis a novel minimal invasive medical device was developed and manufactured. It is used to treat mitral regurgitation, which is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases. It prevents a perfect closure of the mitral leaflets and causes blood to flow back and cause different symptoms, from dyspnea to sometimes death. For this purpose, two versions of new treatment devices were developed that suture the Mitral valve leaflets together resulting in a better closure. Various state of the art Software and machines were used to design and manufacture the Prototypes. This thesis provides the basis of putting those devices onto the Market and to help physicians and patients with an easier treatment and faster recovery time.
