Prof. WANG Jian'an and his team, performed a live broadcast of a complex transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) on Feb 4., during the fourth JIM GISE conference in Rome, Italy, utilizing a domestically developed device.
The procedure was conducted on a 71-year-old patient with severe mitral regurgitation. The case was considered high-risk due to the patient's low BMI (17.5 kg/m²) and comorbidities including hypertension, atrial fibrillation, and renal insufficiency, with an STS score of 6.4%.
Using the domestically developed Dragonfly™ transcatheter mitral valve repair system and guided by 3D imaging, the team successfully performed the repair. The procedure was transmitted live from Hangzhou to the conference venue in Rome.
Prof. WANG and his team has been actively involved in innovation within the field of valvular heart disease. Their work spans the development and clinical application of a full chain of domestic medical devices for aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valves, addressing several domestic technological gaps.
