Orchestra BioMed (NASDAQ: OBIO) announced a satellite symposium at the HRS 2025 Annual Meeting focusing on their atrioventricular interval modulation (AVIM) therapy program. The FDA recently granted Breakthrough Device Designation for AVIM therapy, targeting patients with uncontrolled hypertension and increased cardiovascular risk.
The symposium, scheduled for April 25, 2025, in San Diego, will feature presentations from leading experts discussing clinical results showing AVIM therapy's effectiveness in reducing systolic blood pressure and improving cardiac function. Orchestra BioMed estimates over 7.7 million U.S. patients meet the criteria for AVIM therapy.
The company is currently enrolling patients in the BACKBEAT global pivotal study in collaboration with Medtronic (NYSE: MDT), evaluating AVIM therapy for uncontrolled hypertension in patients with dual-chamber pacemakers.
Vivasure Medical has received CE Mark approval for its PerQseal Elite vascular closure system, a pioneering fully absorbable and sutureless large-bore vessel closure device. The product will be launched in select European markets this summer.
The PerQseal Elite system is specifically designed for closure following large-bore percutaneous cardiovascular procedures like TAVR and EVAR. It stands out as the first fully bioresorbable device in this category and requires no pre-procedure steps, offering improved procedural efficiency.
The device is placed from inside the vessel, providing simpler and more controlled deployment compared to conventional techniques. It restores the vessel to its natural state without leaving behind materials such as collagen, metal implants, or sutures.
Orchestra BioMed (Nasdaq: OBIO) has received FDA Breakthrough Device Designation (BDD) for its atrioventricular interval modulation (AVIM) therapy. The designation applies to an estimated 7.7 million U.S. patients with uncontrolled hypertension and increased cardiovascular risk.

The company is currently conducting the BACKBEAT global pivotal study in collaboration with Medtronic (NYSE: MDT).
The BDD status provides accelerated FDA engagement and reviews, while potentially supporting higher reimbursement for AVIM-enabled devices through Medicare's New Technology Add-on Payment and Transitional Pass-Through payments programs.
