Interventional cardiology and structural heart distributor in Slovakia
Structural heart is where a new technology either reaches practice or does not.
We brought transcatheter mitral valve replacement into Slovak practice and had the reimbursement restriction changed from a single centre to every centre. That is the difference between importing a device and getting it used.
Alongside structural interventions we supply vascular closure and intravascular imaging – the parts of the procedure that decide whether the rest goes smoothly.

Transcatheter mitral and tricuspid valve repair.

Manufacturers in this field. Abbott, Terumo and Gentuity. Product pages on this site are in Slovak, because they are written for the physicians who use the devices – ask us and we will send the portfolio for this field in English.
What market entry looks like. A device reaches a Slovak hospital through categorisation at the Ministry of Health, registration with the State Institute for Drug Control (ŠÚKL) and a public tender. We handle all three, and then stand at the procedure.
