Completely and independently developed by Hangzhou Valgen Medtech Co., Ltd., DragonRing is designed to effectively treat functional mitral valve regurgitation by cinching the dilated annulus, particularly focusing on the patient population with atrial fibrillation as the primary etiology of their mitral regurgitation.

This First-in-Human experience is encouraging and we look forward to more data from the subsequent study of DragonRing,&#8221; commented by Professor <span class=\"xn-person\">Scott Lim<\/span> after the procedure.<\/p>\n<p>DragonRing is a novel technology developed for treating valvular regurgitation.
