The device is indicated for balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV), providing interventionalists with a n ultra high-pressure solution designed for the precise dilation of stenotic aortic valves. Continue Reading Introducing the KardiaPSI Balloon Catheter The KardiaPSI™ platform was engineered to address the mechanical challenges of calcified valve anatomy. By delivering high-pressure dilation with controlled expansion and a short footprint, the system offers a new level of predictability and accuracy during valvuloplasty procedures. **Executive Perspectives** "The KardiaPSI™ Balloon Catheter was developed to solve a fundamental problem in valvuloplasty: the inability to consistently and reliably deliver sufficient force with precise control in calcified anatomy." said **Michael Franklin, CEO and Co-Founder of Corvention.** "With ultra high-pressure capability and a short, stable working profile, KardiaPSI is designed to provide a level of predictability not achievable with conventional balloons. FDA clearance allows us to bring this capability into clinical practice, equipping physicians with reliable, high-performance tools that expand what is possible in complex cases. As we enter commercialization, we are committed to a disciplined, high-touch rollout and to being responsible stewards of the clinical spaces we serve, with a focus on supporting improved and durable patient outcomes." **Dr. Scott Lim, Chair of Corvention's Advisory Board**, added: " We needed a short, powerful and controlled BAV option, and The KardiaPSI™ technology is designed to meet that challenge head-on. This clearance allows us to begin the transition toward making this technology a standard component of the structural heart interventional toolkit." **Commercial Readiness Update** Following this regulatory milestone, Corvention is initiating a controlled, phased market introduction. To ensure the highest standard of clinical support and physician training, the company will focus its current efforts on establishing the necessary commercial infrastructure and strategic support networks required for a successful national launch.
