Hi redant,
Also a long term holder, I just had a look at my records,

I bought a parcel at 0.17c in Feb 2014 (equates to $170 in today's money after consolidations - ouch!),
I've not sold any and have managed to average down over the past 7 years to approx $15, still in the red but getting closer to green.

I really like the science and the innovation of our DurAVR,

I have been reading some studies regarding Commissural Alignment recently and believe this is going to be a huge advantage over the other TAVR devices available even before we take our one piece ADAPT material with better hemodynamics .

Quoted from the National Library of Medicine -
Commissural alignment (CMA)

"Commissural Alignment of Bioprosthetic Aortic Valve and Native Aortic Valve Following Surgical and Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement and its Impact on Valvular Function and Coronary Filling

Results: With SAVR, 27 of 28 cases (96%) were aligned and 1 had mild CMA. For all types of transcatheter heart valves (THVs), there was random valve implantation with regard to commissural alignment: 22% of THVs were aligned, 25% had mild CMA, 22% had moderate CMA, and 31% had severe CMA. The degree of commissural alignment was not associated with a difference in transvalvular gradient, paravalvular aortic regurgitation, or simulated coronary filling. However, there was a significantly higher rate of mild central aortic regurgitation in those THVs with moderate or greater CMA compared with those THV with mild or less CMA (7.8% vs. 1.1%; p = 0.03).

Conclusions: Commissural alignment is excellent in case of SAVR but random in case of TAVR. There is no association between CMA and transvalvular gradient or coronary filling; however, there is a significantly higher rate of mild central aortic regurgitation in case of moderate or greater CMA."


Like many long term holders still hanging in there and daring to dream!
