Jupiter Endovascular
|
Jupiter Endovascular is a medical technology startup developing the endoportal procedure, a new class of endovascular procedures using Endoportal Control to bring the precision and control of direct surgical access to catheter-based interventions. The procedure uses an endoportal device that navigates flexibly through the vasculature viapercutaneous access. Once in position, the endoportal device can be fixed into a stable state to deliver an interventional treatment with surgical-like precision and control from an endovascular access point. | Series B / Oct 07, 2025 | |
