Minnesota HealthSolutions Corporation — Department of Health and Human Services SBIR Phase I: NHLBI
Minnesota HealthSolutions Corporation — SBIR Phase I award from Department of Health and Human Services.
Phase I SBIR feasibility signal
- Phase I awards fund proof-of-concept work. For capture teams, they mark early interest from Department of Health and Human Services in a technical approach.
- Watch for Phase II follow-ons from the same firm/topic family — that conversion path is where budgets and transition pressure rise.
- Obligated amount $299,975. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Topic code NHLBI links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
Project Summary/Abstract We propose to develop an innovative wiring catheter system to reliably direct subintimal crossing and re-entry into the artery true lumen during treatment of complex arterial chronic total occlusions (CTO). The proposed system will improve techniques for treating complex CTOs during percutaneous coronary and peripheral artery interventions (PCI). Atherosclerosis drives development of coronary artery, cerebrovascular, and peripheral arterial disease. Improved CTO crossing devices and techniques will allow more operators to perform these procedures and improve patient care. The proposed project investigates key elements of a novel guided re-entry catheter system to be used in a rendezvous maneuver to increase the precision, speed, reliability, and safety of retrograde CTO PCI crossing. A prototype device will be developed and evaluated.
