Innovations to be showcased include:
BioLeonhardt – http://www.bioleonhardt.com - first implantable, programmable, re-fillable stem cell pump in combination with microcurrent regeneration stimulation for treating advanced heart failure. Featuring combined utilization of MicroRNAs, time release SDF-1, various growth factors, nutrient hydrogel, cardiac stem cells, iPS cells and muscle progenitor stem cells all with programmed repeat deliveries.
MyoStim Pacers – http:/www.myostimpacers.com - world's first heart failure pacemaker designed to recruit reparative stem cells to damaged and weakened heart tissue.
MyoStim Peripheral - electrical stimulation device for treating critical limb ischemia and diabetic foot ulcers, pain relief - http://www.myostimpacers.com/microcurrent-stimulators.php - the MyoStim Axion device is U.S. FDA 510K market cleared for microcurrent treatments - FDA 510(k) K911814.
Note - BioLeonhardt and MyoStim are in the process of merging into one entity BioLeonhardt MyoStim.
Bioheart, Inc.* – http://www.bioheartinc.com - Phase III leader in applying adult muscle stem cells to treat advanced heart failure. Only cell type known to grow new contractile muscle in the depths of scar tissue. *Leonhardt Ventures founded Bioheart, Inc. in 1999 but now is only a minority position shareholder. Bioheart MyoCell in Phase II/III clinical trials beat placebo injections by 95.7 meters in exercise capacity improvement. 84% of Bioheart MyoCell treated patients have improved compared to only 16% of placebo or control patients in clinical studies since 2001.
BioPace – world's first biological pacemaker made entirely of living cells - http://www.leonhardtventures.com/biopace.php
CoroStim – world's first vibrational energy emitting pacemaker that prevents plaque formation in high risk coronary arteries.
CerebraCell - microcurrent based non-invasive energy system to for brain recovery following stroke or injury. Non-invasive cerebral aneurysm repair - http://leonhardtventures.com/cerebracell.php
Cardiobridge – http://www.cardiobridge.com - Highest flow rate 10FR circulatory support catheter pump in clinical testing for acute decompensating heart failure and high-risk PCI. Data on about 30 clinical patients will be presented + www.procyrion.com implantable system.
AortaCell – http://www.leonhardtventures.com/aortacell.php - Method and device to treat aortic aneurysms non-invasively and minimally invasively with devices that deliver focal wireless electrical energy to weakened aortic wall tissue that causes reparative autologous stem cells to home to that chosen treatment location which are then differentiated into smooth muscle thus reinforcing vessel wall strength.
EndoCell – Method and device for growing new endothelium lining of a damaged artery with a percutaneous needle catheter and endothelial progenitor cells.
Valvublator – Percutaneous catheter device for de-calcifying, cell sodding and regenerating heart valve leaflets so a patient may keep their own valve instead of getting an artificial implant - www.valvublator.com + http://www.leonhardtventures.com/valbulator.php Also tissue engineered heart valves.
HeartScore + NI Medical – Total Heart Failure Mangement System, heart failure and cardiovascular genomics, high fidelity monitoring and ECG analysis - www.heartscore.co + http://heartscore.co/heart-failure-management/ + www.heartgenomics.com + www.vivaquant.com HeartScore is also getting ready to publish the Top 100 Cardiovascular Innovations of 2015 eMagazine as well.

About Leonhardt Ventures: Since 1982 Leonhardt Ventures www.leonhardtventures.com has a strong history of inventing, developing, backing and bringing to market leadership products for treating heart and cardiovascular disease. Over 250,000 patients have been treated to date with Leonhardt inventions. In the 1980's the group developed market leadership in patented cardiovascular polyurethane balloon catheters including drug, stem cell and radiation delivery systems and also turn-key cath labs and CCUs. In the 1990s they developed over 20 additional devices including the first commercially successful stent graft for aortic aneurysm repair (TALENT – Taheri-Leonhardt Stent Graft) - SEE VIDEO https://vimeo.com/85232193 , the first percutaneous heart valve, intravascular lung catheter, the Pro-Cell intracavity stem cell delivery system and the MyoCath line of stem cell delivery catheters. Leonhardt patented inventions - http://patents.justia.com/inventor/howard-j-leonhardt - include the first heart failure pacemaker able to recruit reparative stem cells to damaged heart tissue (MyoStim Pacers - www.myostimpacers.com). In 2001 the team led the first in the world non-surgical case of stem cell repair of damaged heart muscle in a human patient with Bioheart MyoCell . That led to the first Phase II/III double blinded, randomized, placebo controlled trial for muscle stem cells growing new contractile muscle in post heart attack tissue in advanced heart failure patients – results published in the American Heart Journal Bioheart MyoCell patients 95.7 meters improvement in exercise capacity over placebo (minus 4 meters decline). The Leonhardt led team at BIoPace is preparing to complete the first ever biological pacemaker implantation made entirely of living cells in a human patient within the next 12-18 months.
