On 22 April 2026, Utepreva LLC announced the launch of the Utepreva Endometrial Sampler, a patented, FDA 510(k)-cleared, single-use endometrial sampling device designed to enhance tissue capture and support early diagnostic evaluation of endometrial cancer. The device featured a proprietary design that combined three complementary mechanisms to enable the comprehensive collection of tissue and fluid in a single sampling pass.
Uterine cancer remained the most common gynecologic malignancy in the United States, with rising incidence and mortality rates, while endometrial carcinoma accounted for the majority of cases. An estimated 68,270 new cases were projected for the year, according to the American Cancer Society. Clinical outcomes continued to depend heavily on timing, with survival rates reaching up to 95% when diagnosed at an early stage but dropping below 20% in advanced disease.

On 22 April 2026, the team at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital’s Heart Institute successfully performed the first traveling bedside transcatheter patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) closure on a 22-week-old premature infant weighing 800 grams at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, Fort Lauderdale, located on the campus of Broward Health Medical Center. The procedure was conducted within the infant’s isolette, allowing interventional cardiologists to close the PDA without transporting the fragile newborn, thereby minimizing associated risks.
The bedside approach improved patient stability and eliminated the stress and risks linked to moving critically ill infants from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) to a catheterization lab. It also enabled earlier intervention, supporting better lung recovery. The minimally invasive procedure involved inserting a small catheter through a vein to place a closure device without requiring a chest incision.
Patent ductus arteriosus, a condition in which a blood vessel fails to close after birth, can lead to excessive blood flow to the lungs, causing breathing difficulties, feeding issues, and impaired growth. The catheter-based technique allowed physicians to close the vessel internally, reducing complications.
The procedure was led by Dr. Shyam Sathanandam, chief of cardiovascular medicine and co-director of the Heart Institute, who has been a pioneer in advancing bedside transcatheter PDA closure techniques globally. In 2018, he launched the International PDA Symposium to promote advancements in managing PDA in preterm infants.
This milestone procedure was performed as part of a strategic collaboration between Nicklaus Children’s Health System and Broward Health, under which pediatric services at Fort Lauderdale and Coral Springs campuses came under Nicklaus Children’s operations. The partnership aimed to expand access to specialized pediatric care while reducing the need for families to travel outside Broward County for advanced treatments.
According to DelveInsight’s ”Interventional Cardiology Devices Market Report,” the global interventional cardiology devices market is expected to increase from USD 20,192.60 million in 2024 to USD 34,866.30 million by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 7.09% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2032. The global interventional cardiology devices market is driven by the growing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and their associated risk factors, increasing preference for minimally invasive procedures, increasing technological advancement in product design, and an increase in strategic activities among the key market players.
On 21 April 2026, RIVANNA®, a developer of AI-enabled clinical decision-support solutions, announced that it had expanded its clinical studies evaluating Accuro® XV, its musculoskeletal imaging system, from two to eight sites across the United States. This expansion followed the execution of a funding option by the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), part of the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
The study supported the development of the first automated fracture detection algorithm derived from volumetric ultrasound imaging. RIVANNA’s computer-aided detection (CADe/x) technology was trained on extensive 3D imaging datasets of upper and lower extremity injuries collected from multiple clinical sites, representing a novel advancement in musculoskeletal imaging.
The study also completed validation and training of BoneEnhance®, an image segmentation module designed to improve bone visualization and serve as a step toward the company’s comprehensive diagnostic platform. In addition to dataset development for AI training, the expanded study generated early clinical insights. Preliminary analysis indicated that among patients who did not receive pain medication, imaging with Accuro XV was associated with a smaller increase in pain compared to X-ray (mean change: -0.09 vs. +0.36; p<0.001).
These findings, although not yet published, suggested potential patient comfort advantages alongside the system’s diagnostic capabilities.
“Now that all eight clinical sites are actively enrolling patients, development of AI for fracture detection is anticipated to compress the 510(k)-submission timeline,” said Delphine Le Roux, PhD, PMP, Senior Director, Market Access and Strategic Partnerships at RIVANNA. “Expanding our clinical program from two to eight sites in four months, with a total of 10 systems deployed, is a testament to our strong partnerships, as well as our team’s agility and capabilities. Our ability to rapidly activate clinical sites reflects the trust and engagement we’ve built with leading academic medical centers over the years, partnerships that are essential to advancing this technology.”
