ABOUT US
We are a young start-up from the ARTORG Center for Biomedical Engineering Research and our aim is to bring forward a novel device for measuring aortic valve leakage during surgery which will allow the surgeon to fix leaky valves before the heart is restarted and the patient is disconnected from the cardiopulmonary bypass system.
