Its investment adds to the Series A financing round closed in June 2012 by NRW.BANK, High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF), private investor Rainer Christine and Getz Brothers.

Established in December 2009 by Maurice Buchbinder, MD, Chief Medical Officer, and John Yianni, PhD, Managing Director, CryoTherapeutics is focusing on developing a novel catheter system, which utilizes cryoenergy to treat and prevent heart attacks. Initially, the company aims to demonstrate the clinical benefit in the treatment of heart attack patients using this catheter-based system that will be utilized by interventional cardiologists.
