Houston Heart Device Maker Procyrion Nabs $10 Million
Procyrion, a Houston biotech developing a device to treat chronic heart failure, has raised $10 million.
The company has built a circulatory support pump named the Aortix that essentially serves as a crutch for the heart, aiding the organ to push more blood through the circulatory system and to vital organs. The device, which is thinner than a pencil, can be implanted in the aorta of heart failure patients via a catheter threaded through the femoral artery.
