Procyrion, and its Aortix™ circulatory assist device, was recently recognized in Scientific American as one of "Ten Start-ups Changing Healthcare".
"Procyrion, a Houston-based company, is developing Aortix, a heart pump thinner than a pencil and less than 6.5 centimeters long. Aortix can be delivered into the aorta in a minimally invasive manner by inserting a catheter into a large artery near the surface of the groin."
