Interim two-year follow-up data from 42 subjects in the VenoValve pivotal trial show sustained clinical improvement and continued patient benefit at 24 months compared to baseline
83% of subjects maintained a clinically meaningful benefit with a 3 or more point improvement in Revised Venous Clinical Severity Score (rVCSS)
9.1 point average rVCSS improvement among the clinically meaningful benefit cohort
Subjects experienced a median 74% improvement in leg pain
Interim follow-up data indicate sustained improvements across all venous-specific quality-of-life (QoL) indicators
A decision from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on the VenoValve is anticipated in the second half of 2025

IRVINE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / June 6, 2025 / enVVeno Medical Corporation (Nasdaq:NVNO) ("enVVeno" or the "Company"), a company setting new standards of care for the treatment of deep venous disease, today announced that interim two-year follow-up data on 42 subjects from the 75 person VenoValve U.S. pivotal trial will be presented today by lead enroller Dr. Cassius Iyad Ochoa Chaar, at the Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) 2025 Vascular Annual Meeting (VAM25) being held June 4-7, 2025 in New Orleans, LA. Additionally, the Company announced it will host a live webcast to discuss these interim results today, Friday, June 6th at 11:20 AM ET / 10:20 AM CT (details below).
Key interim two-year follow-up data being presented at VAM25 include:
83.3% of subjects (n=35/42) maintained a clinically meaningful benefit, defined as an improvement of 3 or more points in the revised Venous Clinical Severity Score (rVCSS).9.1 point average rVCSS improvement among the responder cohort.A median 74% improvement in leg pain, as measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS).Wound healing outcomes in 17 subjects with 25 ulcers showed that 60% of ulcers healed completely, 24% decreased in size, and 16% increased in size.Patient-reported outcomes also demonstrated sustained improvements across all venous specific QoL indicators (VEINES-QoL/Sym).Among the subjects (n=30), a 100% valve patency rate.
All values were calculated comparing each patient's baseline levels to the reported values at the patient's 24-month visit. The Revised Venous Clinical Severity Score (rVCSS) is a clinically validated scoring system used to track the progression or regression of venous diseases.
"These interim two-year follow-up data demonstrate substantial and sustained improvement across all effectiveness endpoints at two years. This is extremely encouraging, especially when you consider that all the patients enrolled in the study had severe CVI and failed all other treatment options," said Robert Berman, enVVeno Medical's Chief Executive Officer. "Despite attempts over many decades, nobody has been able to create an effective treatment for severe CVI caused by malfunctioning valves in the deep veins of the leg. The VenoValve has the potential to change the treatment paradigm for deep venous CVI, both for the millions of patients suffering from severe CVI and the thousands of vascular surgeons who have been waiting for an effective treatment option."
Dr. Cassius Iyad Ochoa Chaar, who is the Associate Professor of Surgery, Division of Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapy, Yale School of Medicine, will present the abstract titled, "Patients with Deep Venous Reflux Continue to Experience Clinical Improvement 2-year after Implantation of the VenoValve" today at VAM 2025.
The VenoValve is a potential first-in-class, surgical replacement venous valve for patients with severe deep venous CVI. The Company estimates that there are approximately 2.5 million potential new patients each year in the U.S. that could be candidates for the VenoValve. The Company has submitted a pre-market authorization (PMA) application for the VenoValve to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), with a decision anticipated in the second half of 2025.
Webcast Details
The Company will host a webcast presentation to discuss the results for investors, analysts and other interested parties today, June 6, 2025, at 11:20 AM ET / 10:20 AM CT. Joining enVVeno management for the event will be Dr. Chaar. The live webcast will be accessible on the Events page of the enVVeno website, envveno.com, and will be archived for 90 days.
About CVI
Severe, deep venous Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) is a debilitating disease that is most often caused by blood clots (deep vein thromboses or DVTs) in the deep veins of the leg. When valves inside of the veins of the leg fail, blood flows in the wrong direction and pools in the lower leg, causing pressure within the veins of the leg to increase (venous hypertension). Symptoms of severe CVI include leg swelling, pain, edema, and in the most severe cases, recurrent open sores known as venous ulcers. The disease can severely impact everyday functions such as sleeping, bathing, dressing, and walking, and is known to result in high rates of depression and anxiety. There are currently no effective treatments for severe CVI of the deep vein system caused by valvular incompetence. Estimates indicate that CVI costs the U.S. healthcare system in excess of $4 billion each year.
About enVVeno Medical Corporation
enVVeno Medical (NASDAQ:NVNO) is an Irvine, California-based, late clinical-stage medical device Company focused on the advancement of innovative bioprosthetic (tissue-based) solutions to improve the standard of care for the treatment of deep venous disease. The Company's lead product, the VenoValve®, is a first-in-class surgical replacement venous valve being developed for the treatment of deep venous Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI). The Company is also developing a non-surgical, transcatheter based replacement venous valve for the treatment of deep venous CVI called enVVe®. Both the VenoValve and enVVe are designed to act as one-way valves, to help assist in propelling blood up the leg, and back to the heart and lungs. The VenoValve is currently being evaluated in the VenoValve U.S. pivotal study and the Company is currently performing the final testing necessary to seek approval for the pivotal trial for enVVe.
