Professor Francisco da Costa presents data at leading heart valve meeting
YORK, 27 June, 2011 - Tissue Regenix, the regenerative medical device company, announces that Professor Francisco da Costa, an internationally recognised cardiac surgeon and one of the company's long term clinical collaborators, yesterday presented data generated from over 8 years clinical use of decellularised human donor heart valves as heart valve replacements, at the 6th Biennial Meeting of The Society for Heart Valve Disease, held in Barcelona.
The mid-term data shows that dCELL® Human Heart Valves are out-performing the current gold standard of cryopreserved valves.
In April, the Company obtained exclusive worldwide commercialisation rights (excluding Brazil) to the data, which will support commercialisation of "dCELL® Heart Valve" and facilitate the Company's entry into the $1.0bn global tissue heart valve market.
