Interventions

  • DeviceNeoChord Artificial Chordae Delivery System, Model DS1000

    The intended use of the device is for the placement of artificial chordae when the natural chordae tendinae have become elongated or ruptured due to degenerative valve disease.

    Also known as: NeoChord DS1000, DS1000
