Milestones
2021
- January 6 – First patient series published – demonstrating “best ever” left ventricular remodeling ever published. The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery published – “First in human experience with an epicardial beating heart device for secondary mitral regurgitation,”
Thourani et al.
2020
- October 9 – Mitre Medical is accepted into the Proof of Concept program for the US-Japan Regulatory initiative known as Harmonization by Doing (HBD). HBD is focused on moving Japanese and U.S. clinical study sponsors and regulatory agencies toward the use of a single global clinical trial protocol for evaluating cardiovascular devices rather than parallel country-specific protocols.
