Our Mission

We strive to revolutionalize the heart valve replacement industry and empower patients to live more fully by focusing on their long-term health needs, through the development of an expandable heart valve prosthesis.

  • 182,000
    heart valve replacement surgeries in the US yearly
  • 76%
    of implanted devices require reintervention within 15 years
  • 44%
    lower 30 day post-op mortality rate for ViV vs. surgical reintervention
  • 14.7%
    of patients with severe PPM had ViV reintervention
  • 19%
    increased mortality rate after 1 year due to severe PPM

The most vulnerable population to prosthesis-patient mismatch are children. Learn more about how we at Heart_Soul are addressing their needs with our novel expandable bioprosthetic valve.

Our Product

  • Product Explanation


    Product Explanation

    An expanadable heart valve prosthesis that is implanatable at all four positions through surgical and transcatheter techniques (a GIF of our valve will show pending mentor approval)

  • Competitor Analysis


    Competitor Analysis

    Our heart valve prosthesis possesses unique advantages over current devices on the market

  • Our team at UROP


    Market Strategy

    We will be participating in exhibitions and conferences to gain recognition. We will also provide complimentary training for implanting our device

Our Work

  • Video recorded for observing kinematics of leaflets


    Leaflet Kinematics Testing

    We observe the valve frame-by-frame and identify the cause of any irregularities in valve performance

  • Laser cutting bovine pericardial tissue


    Laser Cutting Tissue

    Laser cutting technology allows us to quickly fabricate new designs based on our observations

We have developed a procedure to manufacture the components of our heart valve prosthetic device. To ensure the functionality of our device, we have performed hydrodynamic performance and accelerated wear testing on prototypes
