Welcome to QuantumCor, Inc.
QuantumCor is a medical device company
developing technologies that will allow physicians to repair the
mitral heart valve in a minimally invasive cardiac cath lab
procedure, eliminating the need for open heart surgery.
There are an estimated 3 million patients in
the U.S. who suffer from mitral regurgitation. Since the
only treatment available requires open heart surgery, repair is
not considered until valve disease has progressed to the point
where the patient is significantly symptomatic.
Unfortunately, by that time, many patients are at high risk and
are ineligible for surgery.
Our "disruptive" technology will
provide a "Transcatheter", or
minimally invasive alternative, for patients facing surgery
and will provide a treatment option for high risk patients who are
ineligible for surgery. Additionally, as this is a
minimally invasive procedure, we believe
physicians will offer mitral valve repair to patients
earlier in their disease process before co-morbidities, such as
congestive heart failure (CHF) and atrial fibrillation (AF), have
compromised their health.
