Dr. McCarthy is the inventor of the Edwards’ MC3 Tricuspid Annuloplasty Ring,[1] the first 3 dimensional tricuspid-specific ring[2] to treat tricuspid regurgitation. A 2016 study comparing a flexible band and the rigid MC3 ring found that MC3 3D rigid ring annuloplasty might be more effective for tricuspid ring annuloplasty in FTR in mid-term postoperative periods when compared to the flexible band.[3]

Edwards' IMR ETlogix Ring was created through collaboration with several key innovators in the field of heart valve repair, including Professor Alain Carpentier, Dr. Patrick McCarthy and Dr. David Adams. IMR stands for ischemic mitral regurgitation a type of mitral valve disease. Heart valve repair (annuloplasty) rings and bands were designed for symmetric dilatation of the heart valve.[1] The IMR ETlogix annuloplasty ring is the first remodeling ring specifically designed to treat asymmetric leaflet tethering and annular dilatation. Surgical repair of IMR with the novel asymmetric CMA IMR ETlogix annuloplasty ring provided excellent early results with effective reduction of mitral regurgitation.[2]

Dr. McCarthy is the inventor of the Edwards’ D-EtLogix Ring, formally known as the Myxo ETlogix ring. The D-EtLogix Ring is a modification of an earlier device, the Geoform ring, approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). FDA policy permits minor modifications without regulatory approval.[1]
Two patients brought a lawsuit against McCarthy, accusing him of experimenting with the ring on them without their knowledge, and concealing evidence of complications.[2] The malpractice charge, was misreported in some media as 'human experimentation' (the alleged experimentation was addressed and settled by the FDA.) One patient dropped their suit and the other patient brought their suit to trail. The jury decided that the charges brought by the patient had no merit.[3]
