Structural Heart Medical Device Patent Portfolio Is For Sale

NEW YORK, Dec. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Hilco Streambank, a market leading advisory firm specializing in the sale of intellectual property assets and domain name brokerage, is marketing for sale key patents for devices and techniques related to surgical treatments for mitral regurgitation (MR) and atrial fibrillation (AF), including 9 issued patents. Hilco Streambank brought this patent portfolio to market in 2019 as part of the Receivership of LC Therapeutics, Inc., and facilitated a sale to a creditor of the company.  These assets are once again available for sale, along with a newly issued AF patent.

Offers to acquire some or all of the patents are due by January 5, 2021. Interested parties should submit their best and final offers on the offer deadline, as there will not be a further round of bidding or an auction following that date.

There are an estimated 6 million individuals who experience MR in the U.S. and these numbers are expected to grow as the population ages. "Due to the complexity of surgery within the invasive open-heart setting, only 0.4% of individuals with MR receive surgical intervention to repair this condition, which indicates a very large unmet need for care," commented Hilco Streambank CEO, Gabe Fried. "The mitral valve is replaced in half of the MR surgical cases, notwithstanding that studies show that repair is superior to replacement, and roughly 90% of MR surgical cases are candidates for repair." The MR patents protect technology surrounding artificial chords of predetermined lengths used to repair the mitral valve chordae during MR surgical procedures.

The patents also protect an ablation device, method and algorithm for AF procedures. This AF solution is intended initially for use in the open-heart setting and is anticipated to become a nationwide standard of care.
