Autus Valve | The expandable artificial heart valve

Wellnest

In such scenarios, cardiologists’ primary form of treatment for children with coronary heart disease is a heart valve implant. Unfortunately, the traditional pulmonary valves have a fixed diameter that can’t match the size of the child’s heart over time.
