About us
The original JenaValve design concept was developed by Professors Hans Figulla, MD and Markus Ferrari, MD – both cardiologists at the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena, Germany.
JenaValve was established in 2006 to develop an innovative new transcatheter valve focused on treating both aortic regurgitation and aortic stenosis. In 2011, our first-generation transapical technology received CE-Mark for aortic stenosis and in 2013, we were the first transcatheter device in the world to receive CE-Mark for the treatment of aortic regurgitation.
Since the launch of our first-generation device, we have continued to innovate and build upon our experience through the development of our second-generation pericardial heart valve which is delivered via transfemoral access. We are currently enrolling patients in THE ALIGN AR Clinical Program focused on treating patients with severe, symptomatic aortic regurgitation and THE ALIGN AS clinical program for patients with severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis.
