About
MiRus is an Atlanta-based medical device company founded and led by CEO Jay Yadav, M.D., developing proprietary biomaterials, implants, and procedural solutions for cardiovascular and orthopedic disease — notably the SIEGEL Balloon Expandable Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) system, the first nickel-free balloon-expandable TAVR valve, built on a proprietary rhenium alloy 123.

What Founders Say
“The SIEGEL valve is a promising technology and has received enthusiastic feedback from physician investigators for its less invasive delivery, nickel-free construct, precise placement resulting from a lack of foreshortening and excellent hemodynamics.”
— Jay Yadav, M.D., Founder & CEO, MiRus 1
