Projectdetails

Introduction

Below-the-knee critical limb ischemia (BTK-CLI) is the severe blockage of the arteries in the limb, leading to reduced blood flow. This condition currently affects over 3.5 million people in the EU and US.

Current Treatment Challenges

The current standard of care for BTK-CLI is balloon angioplasty. Unfortunately, this treatment has failed to show strong clinical outcomes:

  • Around 40% of patients suffer from procedural complications.
  • 73% of cases develop restenosis within 3 months.
  • 25% of patients end up requiring minor or major limb amputations.

Innovative Solution

STENTiT has developed a first-in-class stent with regenerative capacity, representing a paradigm shift for medical stents.

Features of the Regenerative Stent

  • The Regenerative Stent is fully composed of nanofibers, allowing for unique vascular restoration.
  • The stent gradually dissolves while new vascular tissue is being formed, fully rebuilding the artery to secure long-term patency.

Funding Request

STENTiT requests a €2.5 million grant and €10 million in equity to complete the clinical studies and prepare the Regenerative Stent for market launch.
