Brilliant!
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) & Emory University School of Medicine have successfully performed a minimally invasive coronary artery bypass.
This breakthrough procedure is a powerful inspiration for our team at MicroLumen, reinforcing the impact that advanced catheter engineering can have on patient outcomes. It marks a major step toward less traumatic, catheter‑based alternatives to open‑heart surgery for individuals who cannot tolerate traditional, high‑risk interventions. Delivering better care through less invasive treatment and continuous innovation remains our mission as we collaborate with leading medical device manufacturers.
