Episode 281 | Tyler Zanon & Milad Behbahaninia of EndoShunt | From Frustration to Innovation: Revolutionizing Trauma Surgery

<p>In this episode, trauma surgeon and EndoShunt&#39;s co-founder Milad Behbahaninia and CEO Tyler Zanon share how the company was born from frontline frustration: critically injured patients bleeding out before surgeons can reach hard-to-access injuries. They explain why endovascular innovation is the next horizon in trauma care, how the team engineered a solution that fits existing clinical workflows, and why incremental, surgeon-built improvements can drive outsized impact. They walks through EndoShunt’s rapid maturation since 2023, including multiple preclinical models, meaningful non-dilutive funding, a shrinking catheter profile toward a 7 French design, and plans toward an FDA submission next year. </p><p><br></p><ul><li><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/milad-behbahaninia-md-facs-57239713/"><u>Milad Behbahaninia LinkedIn</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tyler-zanon-923124ba/"><u>Tyler Zanon LinkedIn</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/endoshunt/home/"><u>EndoShunt LinkedIn</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://endoshunt.com/"><u>EndoShunt Website</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/307890/the-house-of-god-by-samuel-shem-with-an-introduction-by-john-updike/"><u>“The House of God” by Samuel Shem</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Power-of-Full-Engagement/Jim-Loehr/9780743226752"><u>“ The Power of Full Engagement” by Jim Loehr &amp; Tony Schwartz</u></a></p></li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/duanemancini/"><u>Duane Mancini LinkedIn</u></a></li><li><p><a href="https://www.projectmedtech.com/"><u>Project Medtech Website</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/project-medtech/?viewAsMember=true"><u>Project Medtech LinkedIn</u></a></p></li></ul><p>Thank you to our sponsors: <a href="https://wardpatent.com/"><u>Ward Law</u></a>, <a href="https://www.wheelhousedmg.com/"><u>Wheelhouse DMG</u></a>, and <a href="http://jumpstartinc.org/"><u>JumpStart Inc</u></a>.</p>
