Our Mission
At VerAvanti, our mission is to transform intravascular care by providing advanced imaging solutions that enhance precision, safety, and efficiency. Through our patented Scanning Fiber Endoscope, we empower clinicians to identify and address critical health risks, improving outcomes for patients worldwide. By bridging gaps in diagnostics and treatment with cutting-edge technology, we aim to redefine standards in healthcare and support providers in delivering impactful, cost-effective care.
01
Nearly one million people are diagnosed with heart disease each year, with approximately 200,000 suffering from Chronic Total Occlusions (CTOs). This condition, which affects many catheterization patients, remains one of the most challenging issues in cardiology. Current success rates for intervention hover around just 55%, leaving the majority of patients without effective treatment. Limitations in existing imaging technology hinder doctors from accurately diagnosing and treating these life-threatening blockages, creating a critical gap in patient care.

Heart Disease and Diagnostic Demand
Over 20 million people are living with heart disease, of which 1 million have heart attacks each year. These numbers highlight a critical need for improved diagnostic solutions.
Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) Treatment Gap
Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) occur in 1 of 5 patients having a cardiac catheterization. Due to limited medical imaging capabilities, only 12% of CTO patients receive treatments to clear occlusions.
Ischemic Stroke Prevalence
795,000 patients will have an embolic stroke this year, and 200,000 of these strokes have an unknown source of emboli.
Stroke Diagnostics and Causes
25% of embolic stroke patients live without knowing where the emboli originated. These patients often have recurring strokes.
02
Limited Vision Means Higher Risk and Weaker Diagnosis
Current imaging technologies like Angiography, IVUS, and OCT are inflexible and invasive, complicating procedures and increasing infection risks.
✗ Forward-viewing imaging catheters are currently unavailable.
✗ Side viewing IVUS and OCT catheters cannot view a CTO.
✗ Angiography is unable to view a CTO due to a lack of contrast medium flow.

Experience VerAvanti's Vision, Lower Risk and Stronger Diagnosis
VerAvanti’s Scanning Fiber Endoscope (SaFE) redefines imaging with forward-looking, high-resolution technology. Unlike side-view methods, it offers real-time, full-color visuals deep in arteries, revealing plaques and defects with unmatched clarity. SaFE enhances diagnostic accuracy and improves procedural outcomes, setting a new standard in vascular imaging.
✔ Forward-Looking Imaging: SaFE enables clinicians to see directly ahead, overcoming traditional side-view limitations.
✔ Real-Time Clarity: High-resolution visuals reveal crucial anatomical details instantly for precise diagnosis and treatment.
✔ Immediate Intervention: Utilizing SaFE's forward-looking, real-time images, practitioners are able to perform interventions under direct endoscopic visualization.
✔ Full-Color Visualization: Provides rich, detailed imaging to differentiate tissue types and identify hidden vulnerabilities.
Our Potential Impact Points
03
We're Advancing intravascular Imaging
With cutting-edge scanning fiber technology, VerAvanti introduces a laser angioscope capable of real-time, full-color imaging inside arteries. Powered by a Microelectromechanical System (MEMS), this groundbreaking device scans a laser at its tip, delivering unparalleled visualization. As the only imaging technology with the potential identify vulnerable endothelial features and calcified plaques, our goal is to utilize SaFE to advance diagnostic precision and treatment outcomes related to intravascular care.
Designed for Efficient Real-Time Visual Feedback
Live imaging enables clinicians to see and react to details instantly, enhancing procedural accuracy. This real-time feedback helps reduce errors, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes and lower overall treatment costs.
Prioritizes Patient Safety with Single-Use Design
Our single-use endoscope eliminates the risk of cross-contamination, prioritizing patient safety with every procedure. This disposable approach also saves time by removing the need for complex sterilization, streamlining workflows.
Aims to Streamline Procedures and Optimize Patient Capacity
Our endoscope’s efficiency-focused design shortens procedure times, allowing hospitals to treat more patients daily. Faster interventions mean higher throughput and increased revenue potential for healthcare facilities.
Goal of Enhancing Diagnostic Accuracy
Advanced imaging technology provides clear, precise visuals, ensuring clinicians can make accurate diagnoses on the spot. This leads to more effective treatments and significantly reduces the need for repeat procedures.
