Append Medical Selected to Present First-Of-Its-Kind, No-Implant Stroke Risk Reduction Device at ICI Meeting 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Append Medical\u2019s Novel Approach to Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) Closure to be Featured at International Conference for Innovations in Cardiovascular Interventions<\/em><\/p>\n

OR YEHUDA, Israel \u2013December 5, 2019 — Append Medical<\/a>, developer of a novel LAA closure device to minimize stroke risk in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients, announced that it has been selected from among hundreds of startups as a finalist for the ICI Innovation Award Competition.<\/p>\n

Append Medical will also present in the Digital Presentations: Complex Coronary and Valvular Interventions program during the meeting.
\nOriginally conceived by Professor Leonid Sternik, MD, Director of the Department of Cardiac Surgery at Sheba Medical Center, the Append Medical \u201cAppligator™\u201d device is designed to reduce stroke risk in AF patients by completely closing the LAA to prevent blood clot leakage. Its design is intended to minimize device-related thromboembolism risk by leaving only a suture \u2013 and no metal \u2013 at the closure site.<\/p>\n

The LAA closure market is the second-fastest growing segment of the medical device market, estimated to reach $958 million by 2025, according to Energias Market Research<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The company operates as part of MEDX Xelerator in Israel. MEDX Xelerator\u2019s partners include MEDX Ventures, Boston Scientific Inc., Intellectual Ventures and Sheba Medical Center.
