This brain pathology often leads to severe disabilities and death. Currently, the standard of care is based on a minimally invasive approach, using the patients&#8217; arteries as an access route to smoothly reach the brain, to locally deliver life-saving treatments. However, this procedure can be very challenging, as the navigation takes place in a dense network of tiny brain arteries.<\/p>\n<p>Based on this observation, <a href=\"https:\/\/artiria-medical.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Artiria Medical<\/a> has developed a system that allows neurosurgeons to navigate quickly and safely in the cerebral arteries thanks to an instrument with a microrobotic head. The two founders, Guillaume Petit-Pierre and Marc Boers, have developed a robotic microtechnology, a kind of guide catheter with a diameter of 0.3 millimeters, which can move more efficiently and safely through the arteries than current technologies.<\/p>\n<p>The investment round of CHF 3 million was led by 4FO Venture Partners, and joined by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investiere.ch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">investiere<\/a>, the Z\u00fcrcher Kantonal Bank (ZKB), the NEST pension fund, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.venturekick.ch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Venture Kick<\/a> and business angels. \u201cWe are pleased to have investors sharing our vision and a board of directors with significant medical device expertise to help us deliver it,\u201d says Marc Boers, Founder and COO of Artiria.<\/p>\n<p>Artiria Medical is currently located at the <a href=\"https:\/\/epfl-innovationpark.ch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EPFL Innovation Park<\/a> in Lausanne (canton of Vaud), and the commercialization of its device is scheduled for 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artiria Medical, an EPFL spin-off and neurovascular start-up closed a CHF 3 million Series A financing round to bring its first product through clinical validation and regulatory approval. 13 million people suffer a stroke every year.
