Innovative Cardiovascular Solutions LLC has completed a Class A Unit financing totaling $5 million to fund its Emblok Embolic Protection Catheter. 

Transcatheter Technologies GmbH announced that it has expanded the Trinity technology platform to include a transfemoral version.

As editor of DAIC, I keep a close watch on trends in cardiovascular technology and try to predict what the next big advancements will be in the coming years. Here are my predictions for technologies to watch in the coming year that have the potential to fundamentally change the practice of cardiology:

After watching his father die from heart valve disease, a mechanical engineer used his expertise in fluid dynamics to develop a first-of-its-kind procedure to replace leaking or regurgitating heart valves without touching the heart.

Wearable technologies, possible changes to stenting practices, state legislation on energy drinks, expanded use of minimally invasive heart repair procedures, and the development of a new class of cholesterol lowering drugs are among top stories anticipated in cardiology in 2015.

Now that transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is rapidly becoming an established treatment option, cardiology has shifted focus toward the next major frontier in interventional structural heart technology — transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR). It was very obvious at the 2014 Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) meeting that mitral valve technology will become the next major trend, as sessions on this topic where packed to capacity.
