Advanced Technology Ventures

Ardian is a privately held, clinical-stage medical device company that develops catheter-based therapies for hypertension treatment and related conditions. It develops a catheter system that uses radio-frequency energy to “deactivate” sympathetic nerves in the kidneys, lowering blood pressure. The company's flagship product, the Symplicity Catheter System, addresses uncontrolled hypertension through renal denervation, or ablation of the nerves lining the renal arteries. It has received the CE (Conformité Européene) mark and Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) listing but is not yet approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
