Sierra the single entry epicardial procedure designed for the treatment of atrial fibrillation
Patented device
Left Atrial Appendage Seclusion Tool
One-size fits all device, completely repositionable. One-size-fits all economics.
Single access epicardial LAA closure. No need for Heparin, nor for post procedure oral anticoagulant (OAC).
Patented hollow structure ligation. Patented electrolocation for less invasive and more accurate closure.
Developed in partnership with the Mayo Clinic.
Alongside the Mayo Clinic, Aegis Medical Innovations has developed and patented, epicardial only LAA seclusion tool and procedure to address the devastating atrial fibrillation risk that 5-10 million Americans face. It is estimated that 35-37.5 million patients globally suffer from atrial fibrillation. 90% of stroke causing clots that come from the heart are formed in the LAA. This population is 5x more likely to have a stroke. They also are at a 5x greater risk of heart failure than their peers.
A single trained professional can tie off and close the LAA in 15 minutes with our tool, Sierra.
