MIG Capital and CoreMedic announce fresh funding in Series B Extension
Radolfzell and Munich, Germany, 11 February 2025 CoreMedic GmbH, an innovative cardiology company, and MIG Capital AG, a new investor in the company and one of Germany’s leading venture capital firms, are pleased to announce new funding in CoreMedic’s Series B extension round for its ChordArt transcatheter mitral valve repair device. CoreMedic demonstrated the success of its surgically implanted ChordArt device with 5-year stability, safety and effectiveness data. The new funding will enable CoreMedic to accelerate clinical development of its device by completing the First-in-human study of the transseptal implantation of ChordArt already in progress, as well as build upon its medical advisory and international clinical community in preparation for expanding to a global clinical program. “We are thrilled to announce the expansion of our investor syndicate with the addition of MIG Capital, which has deep domain investment experience in building companies from seed to expansion across market sectors. We welcome Matthias Guth to our esteemed Board. This is a significant milestone in the further development of our company and will support us in achieving our goals,” said Josef Bogenschütz, CEO of CoreMedic. “We are delighted to support CoreMedic as it continues the development of its exciting new transcatheter mitral valve repair system, ChordArt,” said Matthias Guth, Venture Partner at MIG Capital. “In addition to the excellent and seasoned team, the company’s technology is bringing significant innovation to the cardiovascular space. Currently, most technologies are irreversible, whereas the CoreMedic device can be used to repair the valve while keeping open additional therapeutic downstream options.” Mitral Valve Regurgitation (MR) is a prevalent and serious heart condition caused by structural damage to the mitral valve, leading to blood leakage between the left heart chambers. Affecting more than 24 million patients worldwide[1], MR represents a significant unmet medical need, as treatment requires structural interventions often conducted via open heart surgery, which many patients are unable to undergo. In response, CoreMedic has developed ChordArt, a transcatheter system designed to replace damaged mitral valve chords with a minimally invasive procedure. This innovative approach reduces patient trauma as well as procedure time and complexity, shortens recovery time and expands treatment options for those previously ineligible for conventional surgery. About CoreMedic CoreMedic GmbH is an innovative cardiology company, located in Radolfzell, Germany. As a spin-off of the Heart Center of University of Bern, Switzerland, CoreMedic was initiated in 2012 to develop the breakthrough treatment concept for mitral valve regurgitation ChordArt. The company is backed by a group of experienced and committed private investors with backgrounds in heart medicine and cardiovascular devices and institutional healthcare investor SHS Capital.
