PARIS – Miracor Medical SA secured a $28 million series E funding round for its Pressure-controlled Intermittent Coronary Sinus Occlusion (PiCSO) impulse system, intended for treating patients presenting with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI). “This funding will be used to move the PiCSO clinical trial program forward, and to begin distributing our technology in Europe,” Olivier Delporte, CEO of Miracor, told BioWorld.
A little less than a year after it reported the final close of a series D financing, Miracor Medical SA, of Awans, Belgium, has been granted breakthrough device designation by the U.S. FDA for its Pressure-Controlled Intermittent Coronary Sinus Occlusion (PICSO) Impulse System for the treatment of ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients.
