Welcome to QuantumCor
QuantumCor is a medical device company
developing technologies that will allow physicians to repair a
diseased and dysfunctional 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 functional mitral regurgitation. Since the
only definitive treatment requires open heart surgery, repair is
not normally considered until valve disease has progressed and the patient is
highly symptomatic.
Unfortunately, by that time, co-morbidities including congestive
heart failure (CHF), atrial fibrillation (AF) and advanced
cardiovascular disease render many patients "high risk" and
ineligible for surgery.
Our "disruptive" technology will
provide a "Transcatheter", or
minimally invasive alternative, for "high risk" patients.
Additionally, as this technology is better understood, we
believe
physicians will consider offering transcatheter mitral valve repair to patients
earlier in their disease process before co-morbidities, have
compromised their health.
