- This federal Project Grant award of $598,636, provided by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research), supports the development of the EMULAATE platform by Spheric Bio Inc. The EMULAATE technology aims to address the mismatch between standard left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) devices and patient anatomy by enabling the assembly of personalized, soft implants directly inside the patient's body through a minimally-invasive procedure. This could...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), with CFDA Number 93.350, supports the development of a novel method for quantitative flow assessment within the treated artery during catheter embolization procedures. The $144,345 award will fund research to integrate electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) sensors into catheters for real-time monitoring of embolization, which can provide a more accurate evaluation of the embolization treatment compared to current subjective, operator-dependent methods. The research aims to miniaturize the sensor catheter technology to microcatheters commonly used in embolization procedures, and evaluate new methods for continuous blood flow determination. Upon completion, this project is expected to enhance the clinical translatability and utility of catheter embolization by realizing sensor microcatheters that can potentially provide continuous blood flow sensing, with broad applications in intravascular flow sensing for interventional radiology and cardiology. The award period is from Sep 1, 2025 to Aug 31, 2027.
