KEY WORDS

PROJECT SUMMARY
RELEAF is a medical device startup company developing technology
& devices to treat calcification related diseases.

Cardio-Vascular minimally invasive therapy, Aortic Valve
stenosis, Calcification. Over million Americans over the age of
65 suffer from calcific aortic stenosis. The symptomatic patients
with calcific aortic stenosis (CAS) suffer from heart failure,
syncope, and angina pectoris. To date, surgical replacement of
the aortic valve (AVR) is the only treatment for symptomatic
disease. In the U.S. alone over 50,000 patients per year undergo
AVR. This number represents less than a 1/3 of patients requiring
surgery. Approximately 150,000 patients requiring AVR do not
receive treatment. Reasons for not undergoing AVR include:
patient's refusal, various co-morbidities, and risk to performing
the operation.

RELEAF procedure offers this target market a catheter-based
treatment that is less traumatic than AVR, and can be performed
in high risk patients. Additional applications include removal of
plaque from atherosclerotic arteries in peripheral arterial
disease.
