Pioneer in catheter-based heart valve therapy Dr Olaf Franzen has been pioneering catheter-based treatments for heart valve defects for more than 10 years and has treated more than 1000 patients with these procedures. Dr Olaf Franzen has further developed these procedures in leading medical centres in Europe and Asia - including Hamburg, London, Copenhagen, Hong-Kong and Singapore - and has authored many publications in this field. Dr Olaf Franzen is one of the doctors who treated patients in the renowned European "Notion Study", which compared catheter interventions and open-heart surgery in patients with aortic valve stenosis. This catheter procedure is now the standard treatment for most patients with aortic valve stenosis in many countries. In addition, Dr Olaf Franzen performed the first catheter procedure on humans for leaflet repair in mitral valve regurgitation in Europe. This so-called mitraclip therapy is now a widely used procedure worldwide with more than 100,000 patients treated.
