The Problem
Around 16M people worldwide have a heart attack every year
Up to 30% of patients post Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) will develop heart failure which has a huge impact on morbidity and mortality
Booster™ Therapy
Intratech is developing the Booster™ spiral balloon device for the treatment of AMI patients
After the revascularization of the occluded artery, the Booster™ balloon is placed in the coronary sinus vein, and due to its unique spiral design, it increases the vascular pressure
This elevated pressure enhances blood perfusion into the affected myocardium, improving the patient’s cardiac function
