The $31.4 million investment Capstan Medical Inc. recently received in its Series B funding round will allow the company to make headway in its efforts to use a catheter-based, robotic delivery platform to treat patients with mitral and tricuspid valve disease. With heart disease a leading cause of death globally and cardiac procedures remaining highly invasive and filled with complications, Capstan is working to provide patients with safer, less invasive alternative.

Truleaf Medical Ltd., a subsidiary of Israel-based Allmed Solutions, is ready to begin human trials of its Rosedoc platform to replace the heart’s leaky mitral valve using cardiac catheterization.

Structural heart startup Nyra Medical Inc. scooped up $20 million in a series A round co-led by Vensana Capital and a large, unnamed global medical device company. The funds will be used to advance Nyra’s transcatheter heart valve repair technology through early feasibility clinical studies.
