NIMBLE I

NIMBLE-I  We are excited to share that NIMBLE-I, our first-in-human clinical study, is now officially completed.   Fifty-six patients were enrolled at the Hospital Universitari Germans Trias i Pujol (Can Ruti) in Badalona, Spain, marking an important milestone in the journey of the WAEVE® System from laboratory prototype to clinical reality.  The Problem  Every year, hundreds of thousands of patients undergo coronary stent implantation to treat blocked arteries. While stents are life-saving, living with one is not without uncertainty. In-stent restenosis (ISR), the re-narrowing of the artery inside the stent, affects between 5% and 10% of all patients with a stent. Aside restenosis, stent fractures and other structural complications add …

Diagnosis of Coronary Ischemia – When to Consider an Angiography?

Can angiography be avoided? Alternative Diagnostic Methods Angiography has become one of the most important medical discoveries due to its ability to diagnose and investigate numerous problems affecting blood vessels, including coronary artery disease. Since this is the only method currently used to determine if a stent is needed or if a pre-placed stent is in restenosis, alternative diagnostic methods are being looked into to reduce risks and costs.  What is Angiography? Angiography is a diagnostic procedure that uses imaging to show how blood flows through blood vessels or the …

NIMBLE Diagnostics: Non-invasive medical technology used to monitor patients with implanted coronary stents

Societal challenge: No method for proactively monitoring implanted stents NIMBLE Diagnostics’ novel technology will make waves in the medical community and in the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of most cardiovascular diseases, as it often forms blood clots and causes a restriction of oxygen-rich blood flow to the tissues. This blockage can cause various diseases, such as coronary artery disease, stroke, peripheral arterial disease, and aneurysms. Stents are small, metallic tubes implanted in the location of the obstruction to restore blood flow or other fluids. Initially, …
