4C Medical's Novel Mitral Regurgitation Therapy to be Highlighted at CRT 2018 Meeting

BROOKLYN PARK, Minn., March 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- 4C Medical Technologies, Inc. (4C Medical), a developer of minimally invasive technologies for structural heart disease, today announced that its medical device for mitral regurgitation (MR) will be highlighted in two presentations at the Cardiovascular Research Technologies (CRT) meeting held March 3-6, 2018 in Washington, DC.

4C Medical is developing the first MR treatment that preserves the native mitral valve and left ventricle using a supra-annular, atrial-only fixation technology. The novel design eliminates known issues associated with current transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) technologies which rely on placement and fixation in the native mitral annulus and left ventricle.

Jeffrey Chambers, MD will present "4C Solutions that Preserve the Native Mitral Valve" at 10:21 am Tuesday, March 6. The presentation will be held in the Omni Shoreham Hotel Blue Room as part of the CRT Valve Structural Innovations session. Dr. Chambers is the Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Lab at Metropolitan Heart and Vascular Institute in Minneapolis, MN. He is also the Founder and Chief Medical Officer of 4C Medical.

Philippe Généreux, MD will present "Innovation I: A Novel Transcatheter MR Treatment Technology" at 11:00 am Tuesday, March 6. The presentation will be held in the Omni Shoreham Hotel Hampton Ballroom as part of the CRT Cardiovascular Innovations session. Dr. Généreux is Co-Director of the Structural Heart Program at the Gagnon Cardiovascular Institute of Morristown Medical Center (Morristown, NJ) and a practicing Interventional Cardiologist at Hôpital du Sacré-Coeur de Montréal (Montreal, Canada).
