CardioFlow’s VitaFlow Liberty™ Granted EU CE-MDR Mark, Advancing Global Expansion Roadmap

SHANGHAI, June 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- MicroPort® CardioFlow Medtech Corporation (CardioFlow) (Stock Code: 02160.HK) recently announced that its self-developed second-generation transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) device, the VitaFlow LibertyTM Transcatheter Aortic Valve and Retrievable Delivery System (VitaFlow LibertyTM), has received EU CE-MDR certification. This certification highlights VitaFlow LibertyTM as a pioneering TAVI solution, that sets a new benchmark in transcatheter heart valve treatments.

With over 47 million patients globally[1] suffering from aortic valve stenosis and regurgitation, the prevalence rates of these conditions are on the rise due to an aging population. The TAVI solution provided by CardioFlow, which avoids open-heart surgery and offers various benefits like minimal trauma, quick recovery, and enhanced quality of life, is increasingly becoming a preferred choice for patients with aortic heart valve disease.

CardioFlow, one of the world’s leading innovative medical device companies, has entered the field of structural heart disease when the field was still at an early adoption phase. Originating and headquartered in Shanghai, China, CardioFlow was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on February 2021. The company has a diverse product pipeline resulting from independent and collaborative research, covering structural heart devices such as transcatheter aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valves, left atrial appendage occludes, and accessories. Leveraging its technological expertise and capacity for innovation, the company has successfully obtained approvals and launched several TAVI products globally, among which VitaFlow LibertyTM stands out as the world’s only electric retrievable transcatheter aortic valve system. The VitaFlowTM series TAVI solution along with its accessory – the AlwideTM series Balloon Catheter, has successfully covered nearly 700 core hospitals in 10 countries and regions, treating more than 10,000 patients with aortic valve disease worldwide.
