Executive Summary
The most prevalent kind of heart failure is caused by heart attack damage to the left ventricle, and the standard treatment is an open-heart procedure called surgical ventricular restoration. BioVentrix Inc. aims to replace SVR with a less invasive version of the procedure, using its Revivent Myocardial Anchoring System, designed to pull the damaged segments of the left ventricle together to reduce the burden on the non-damaged myocardium and improve its performance.
