AORTICLAB is an innovative start-up that offers high-tech cutting-edge solutions in the treatment of severe aortic stenosis:

  • to raise safety standards for all patients
  • to offer a clinical solution even for patients currently considered untreatable
  • to provide accessible, sustainable solutions for all patients

AorticLab is there for anyone seeking a new, effective and reliable procedure that is both less invasive and more sustainable, with lower risks

Our Vision

A beating heart carries memories, affections, emotions and little–big hopes for the future. Those who suffer from severe aortic stenosis, young and old alike, may have a shorter future expectation for them, but no less intense and no less deserving of hope.

The profound value of each person’s story, the immense wealth of emotions that our loved ones reserve for us and sheer respect for all aspects of life are the inspiration that has driven us since day one. It is why our research and innovation path, state-of-the-art technology and protection walk hand in hand. The effectiveness of our solutions and the achievement of lower risk for patient and clinical staff are actually two parallel paths with a common endpoint: patients’ safety and quality of life.

Pursuing this objective has brought us to the launch of products for safer and less invasive treatment of aortic stenosis, offering sustainable heart interventional solutions.

Because a person we love might be the owner of a beating heart that until now could not be treated

Our values

AORTICLAB was founded in 2016 by experienced MedTech professionals and physicians intending to develop new technologies for cardiovascular procedures. AORTICLAB was financed in three stages by a group of Investors in the Medtech industry. In the last two years there has been an increase in investment and in staff numbers. Today AORTICLAB employs eighteen people and plans to invest six million euros in 2021.

  • Passion and courage guide us in the research and discovery of innovations to enhance general well being.
  • Knowledge and progress allow us to improve technological results by meeting the needs of the community.
  • A serious professional approach means we require reliability in our products while respecting corporate integrity.
