SCCT 2019
Dr. Jonathon Leipsic
"We intended to build on our past work delving into the mechanisms of bioprosthetic valve failure. Our data suggests that the mechanisms and timelines of valve degeneration are consistent across surgical and transcatheter bioprosthetic heart valves and a better understanding of structural valve degeneration can be obtained through combining further histological and novel imaging approaches. We will continue along this path of investigation through the generous support of the DeHaan Foundation Award which will allow us perform the needed advanced analyses to help advance our understanding of this complex process so that we can hopefully develop potential solutions to this important clinical problem."
PCR INNOVATORS DAY 2019
Filterlex
"It has been a great honor for Filterlex and myself to receive the Jon DeHaan Foundation Innovation Award.
We appreciate the recognition of the importance to protect the brain and the rest of the body during TAVR procedure. Filterlex carries the vision of procedural safety and the mission to deliver it in an easy and successful way. Although we are a start-up company, we see the patients in front of us, and aim to provide them with the best care.
With the generous Jon DeHaan Foundation grant, we will be able to further develop and soon to bring to patients a mature and improved device to protect them. We are now getting ready for the first-in-human experience, and thanks to your grant we will be able to move forward with these plans."
