Description

The Wayne, PA-based company specializes in creating minimally invasive technologies that can be used to treat cardiovascular disease. Their next-generation intravascular technology is designed to treat diseased peripheral arteries. The device features multiple longitudinal lines of interrupted micro-serrations that enable arterial expansion along those lines, improving the lives of patients and curing them. Cagent Vascular's Serranator PTA Serration Balloon Catheter is the first and only angioplasty balloon with serration technology, which has been used to treat blocked arteries in the leg or Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) and Chronic Limb Threatening Ischemia (CLTI).

Casey Tansey

Casey Tansey

Casey Tansey joined USVP as a general partner in April 2005. A veteran of the medical device industry, Casey brings over 25 years of entrepreneurial, early-stage medical device and seasoned operating experience to USVP. Casey's extensive operations experience brings more to the table than strategic counsel -- he adds empathy to that mix. Casey's investment strategy is a lot like his strategy as a CEO: identify unmet clinical needs where patients are in need of new and improved products and services. At USVP, Casey focuses on the trend toward the miniaturization of devices and the development of minimally-invasive technologies that promise innovations in the delivery of medical products and services, especially in cardiovascular products, orthopedics, spinal care and neurology. Casey's passion is to strive for delivery of medical services with less trauma to the patient and improved quality of life. Innovations shaping this trend include minimally-invasive technologies. During his tenure as CEO and President of Epicor Medical from 2001 to 2004, Casey, along with a dedicated team, pioneered a minimally-invasive treatment for atrial fibrillation and transformed the company into a recognized market leader, and he led Epicor's acquisition by St. Jude Medical. Prior to Epicor, Casey was CEO and President of Heartport, a public company that helped pioneer minimally-invasive cardiac surgery which is now a Johnson & Johnson company. Before that, he was with Baxter Edward's Cardiovascular Division for nearly ten years, holding various sales and marketing positions. During his tenure at Baxter, Casey was involved in launching innovative heart valve products that have grown to be the market leaders. Casey serves on the Board of Directors for ApniCure, CardioKinetix, Devax, Inspire Medical, Intersect ENT, Intuity Medical, ReShape Medical, and SentreHEART. In addition, he served as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the World Heart Foundation, an organization dedicated to advancing humanitarian efforts in heart surgery worldwide through education and collaboration. Casey holds a B.S. and M.B.A. from the College of Notre Dame in Belmont, CA. Casey has served on the boards of Epicor Medical and Heartport.
