Overview
Corveus Medical is an early-stage, pre-revenue medical device company focused on the significant unmet need in congestive heart failure (CHF). The company is developing a catheter-based system designed to ablate a specific nerve branch (likely the right greater splanchnic nerve) via a transvenous approach, aiming to halt disease progression in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) patients. Founded in 2018 and operating from the Texas Medical Center, Corveus is led by a small core team and is in the pre-clinical or early clinical development stage. Its approach is supported by emerging scientific literature on the role of the sympathetic nervous system in HFpEF.
Technology Platform
Minimally invasive catheter-based system for transvenous ablation of a specific sympathetic nerve branch (likely the right greater splanchnic nerve) to treat heart failure. The platform includes real-time confirmation of nerve deactivation.

Competitive Landscape
Corveus operates in the competitive neuromodulation for heart failure space, competing with companies investigating renal denervation (e.g., Medtronic, Recor Medical) and other sympathetic modulation approaches. Its specific targeting of the greater splanchnic nerve is a differentiating focus, but it must compete for clinical adoption, investment, and physician mindshare against more established players with greater resources.
