ATS Medical, Inc. Announces FDA Approval for Clinical Investigation of ATS 3f Aortic Bioprosthesis
ATS Medical, Inc. announced that the FDA has approved a clinical study in which cardiac surgeons will implant the ATS 3f Aortic Bioprosthesis in a younger aortic valve replacement patient population that has not been previously studied in a controlled and scientific manner. This new FDA approved clinical study will enroll patients younger than 60 years of age, with half of the population younger than 50 years of age. The Company believes that this study will ultimately demonstrate the safety, efficacy and durability of the ATS 3f Aortic Bioprosthesis in this new patient population, while illustrating the performance necessary to maintain the active lifestyle of the younger population. The ATS 3f Aortic Bioprosthesis is an aortic valve designed to function just like a native valve. Its tubular design was inspired by how a native valve forms in utero: as a tube with sides that collapse when external pressure is applied. The primary benefit of the ATS 3f Aortic Bioprosthesis is its tubular design and that it restores physiologic non turbulent blood flow and native-like stress distribution to the aortic root. This valve design provides surgeons and patients with a potentially more durable solution to aortic valve replacement.
