Procyrion
Clinical-stage Aortix mechanical circulatory-support system targeting heart failure with cardiorenal dysfunction.
Company overview
Procyrion develops Aortix, a catheter-delivered pump placed in the descending aorta to augment blood flow and support renal perfusion while reducing cardiac workload. The Houston company focuses on patients with acute decompensated heart failure, persistent congestion and inadequate response to diuretics.
The company identifies DRAIN-HF as its pivotal study and also describes completed pilot programs in cardiorenal syndrome and perioperative kidney-injury prevention. Enrollment descriptions are attributed to the company’s trial page; they are not a substitute for a fresh registry status review.
Aortix is investigational and not available for sale in any country according to the company. Eric Fain is President and CEO, with Andrew Davis as Chief Commercial Officer. The relevant business story is clinical execution and preparation for potential commercialization, rather than current device sales.
