In collaboration with major biomedical industries, members of our team have taken part to the invention and developed a number of innovative prosthetic devices for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases (more than 30 patents), that are now established products in the EU and US markets and have been implanted in thousands of patients.

Now we actively work on the conception, development and clinical implementation of improved therapeutic solutions for cardiovascular diseases, which would contribute to redefine next generation healthcare, and improve patients’ health and quality of life.
