AORTIC STENOSIS

Aortic stenosis is one of the most common and serious valve disease problems. It is a life-threatening disease caused by the narrowing of the opening of the aortic valve.

NON-INVASIVE THERAPY

To treat Aortic Stenosis, Cardiawave has developed a real-time image-guided non-invasive ultrasound therapy using a cutting-edge ultrasound technology.

Non-Invasive Ultrasound Therapy (NIUT) consists in repairing the aortic valve, not replacing it. No surgery is required. Truly non-invasive.
