MiRus technology and clinical development
MiRus developed a novel, balloon-expandable TAVR device using a proprietary rhenium-based alloy (MoRe®), offering strength, fatigue resistance, and low metal ion release.
SIEGEL™ M TAVR is the first nickel-free alloy valve with nitric oxide coating, designed for precise placement and reduced complications.
STAR pivotal trial is enrolling up to 1,025 patients across all surgical risk categories, comparing SIEGEL™ M to commercial TAVR devices.
Early feasibility studies showed strong 30-day results; pivotal data will support regulatory submissions in the U.S., EMEA, and Japan.
Device features include zero foreshortening, small sheath size, and potential for lower pacemaker and vascular complication rates.
Strategic rationale and market opportunity
SIEGEL™ TAVR's rhenium alloy enables precise valve placement, improved hemodynamics, and reduced vascular complications.
