Within this site you will find a description of Cardious Inc., an emerging medical device company located in St. Paul, MN.  Cardious is focused on the development of a less invasive aortic heart valve therapy that allows a traditional heart valve (manufactured by others) to be surgically installed into a beating heart.

We encourage your participation during our development process, especially if you are a cardiac surgeon, a biomedical professional, or an active investor. To that end, we will be posting articles (and opinions) about our product and will be looking forward to your comments and responses. After reviewing our site, please contact us if you would like to learn more about our company.

Our product is not yet approved for human use.  We are currently in animal studies.  If all goes well, we plan to perform our first human implant in the later half of 2010.

I welcome comments on any of our blog posts from our readers. Please keep them brief and include your full name and profession (for publication purposes). We reserve the right to publish responses elsewhere and to edit them for content as well as length.
