The story behind

What is ELANA?

The AMT-solution is based on a similar solution for the brain, the so-called ELANA-technique. The ELANA Brain Solution was brought to market by ELANA bv, a company earlier founded by members of the AMT-team.

The innovative ELANA-procedure is designed and developed in such a way, that it could be applicable both in open chest and totally endoscopic procedure setting without the need of
stopping the heart for even a moment. Our specifically designed ELANA Heart Clip and ELANA Heart Laser Catheter allow us to make this possible. 

AMT Medical is a clinical stage medical device company developing a highly innovative and unique Heart bypass system.

With our proven track-record concerning our Elana Brain solution, we decided to move from the head to the heart.

With one dream: to banish the open-heart bypass surgery from the world.

Up until recently, that seemed a distant prospect. Well, not anymore.

We start with a sutureless procedure in open heart setting, with the next phase moving to a minimally invasive technique, using a robot. A scenario where the patient is back home after only a few days and without pain is right in front of our eyes.

How does it work in theory?

Meet ELANA

Meet Elana, our innovative heart bypass system designed to make heart surgery less invasive and more efficient. Elana allows the entire bypass operation to be performed through small incisions in the chest, eliminating the need for a heart-lung machine or sutures.

Using a specially designed clip, Elana connects a donor vessel to a blocked artery. A laser is then used to create an opening in both vessels, allowing blood to flow freely through the new pathway. This approach reduces the risks of infections, internal bleeding, and stroke, while significantly shortening recovery time. With Elana, patients can heal faster and return to their normal lives much sooner.

Our focus is on the patients

Patients

We aim to help future patients to undergo bypass surgery by minimizing long recovery times and serious complications. Quickly allowing the patients to go home and do the things they enjoy, without pain and dysfunction.
And we can do that, starting soon. By making the open-heart surgery a procedure from the past.

“What do we need from an innovation? We just need standardized techniques that are very easy and fast. An important condition is that the outcome of using a connector is equivalent to open hand sewed CABG surgery, which we used for years with excellent outcomes”
