We are proud to share the successful first-in-human implantation of the ALTA® Venous Stent, a meaningful step towards commercialisation.

We are proud to share the successful first-in-human implantation of the ALTA® Venous Stent. A huge thank you to Prof. Dr. Suat Doganci, Sherzod Iskhakov, and Em. prof. dr. Cees H.A. Wittens for their contribution to this achievement. Their expertise and dedication have brought the ALTA® stent from preclinical development into clinical use, a meaningful step towards commercialisation of our next-generation solution for venous stenting in the iliac veins.

Darren Spencer, CEO of Venous Stent B.V. "Born from real-world clinical experience the ALTA® stent is engineered specifically for the complex anatomy of the iliac veins, providing physicians with the flexibility to meet diverse patient needs. The successful implantations represent the culmination of extensive development work and a meaningful validation of our approach to venous stenting. Exciting times ahead as we continue redefining the future of deep venous disease treatment."

The Venous Stent ALTA® stent is currently under development, intended exclusively for investigational use, and is not approved for sale in any geography.
