About
Vesalius Cardiovascular is a Canadian medical device company founded in 2016 in Vancouver, Canada. The company specializes in designing and developing biomedical devices for the treatment of cardiovascular disease, specifically mitral valve regurgitation (MR). We are at preclinical stage.
Our devices will be introduced percutaneously (transfemoral/transseptal) to the heart, eliminating the need for open heart surgery and the related risks. The procedure can be performed by a Cardiovascular Interventionalist (Cardiologist or Cardiac Surgeon).
Vesalius Cardiovascular is the result of several years of intensive private research and investigation. The inventor behind Vesalius Cardiovascular is Dr. Peter Skarsgard, a Vancouver-based Cardiac Surgeon, and Head of the Division of Cardiovascular Surgery at Vancouver General Hospital.
