ABOUT T-HEART
T-Heart is a French MedTech company focused on the treatment of Tricuspid Regurgitation, a true medical unmet need. Tricuspid regurgitation is a progressive condition in which blood leaks backward through the tricuspid valve, potentially leading to heart failure and death. The transcatheter tricuspid market represents a $3.0+ billion potential opportunity, although currently, limited treatment options exist to address this market.
T-Heart has developed a truly novel and differentiated transcatheter tricuspid prosthetic heart valve specifically designed for tricuspid heart valve regurgitation, thereby addressing the specific anatomical challenges. Moreover, T-Heart's unique design enables the interventional cardiologist to replace the diseased tricuspid valve with a simple one-step technique and allows for broad applicability to a larger patient population with minimal device sizes.
T-Heart was co-founded in late 2018 with iBionext, a company builder and investor that supports and finances the development of companies with a strong technological breakthrough in HealthTech in Paris, France.
Since its inception, T-Heart has assembled an impressive team, comprised of management and external experts, has successfully proved the concept through pre-clinical testing and initiated its Q-Sub for EFS with the FDA.
