Field Medical Secures $35M Series B to Propel Cardiac Ablation Trial and Tech Advancement
  • Field Medical has successfully raised $35 million in a Series B venture capital funding round, bringing its total fundraising to $75 million, to support the launch of a pivotal trial for its cardiac pulsed field ablation system.

  • The Series B funding was co-led by BioStar Capital and Cue Growth, influenced by strong pilot data presented at the 2025 Heart Rhythm Society meeting in San Diego.

  • This latest funding follows a previous $40 million Series A round that closed in April 2025, with the new funds designated for starting the pivotal Veritas trial and advancing the FieldForce system's development.

  • Headquartered in Cardiff-by-the-Sea, California, Field Medical aims to address significant unmet needs in treating ventricular tachycardia with its innovative FieldForce platform.

  • Founder and CEO Steven Mickelsen highlighted the unmet clinical demand in the ventricular tachycardia segment, drawing parallels to the early days of the atrial fibrillation market.

  • Mickelsen, who previously invented the Farapulse PFA system for atrial fibrillation, established Field Medical in 2022 to focus on developing PFA technology specifically for ventricular tachycardia, a dangerous heart rhythm that can lead to sudden death.

  • Promising results presented at the Heart Rhythm Society indicated that 78% of patients treated with the FieldForce approach experienced freedom from symptoms, although two patients experienced worsening heart failure.

  • At the Heart Rhythm Society meeting, Field Medical showcased eight presentations, including a significant first-in-human study on ventricular tachycardia driven by scar tissue.

  • Pulsed field ablation (PFA) has gained traction among physicians for treating atrial fibrillation due to its potential for safety and efficiency compared to traditional ablation methods.

  • Louis Cannon, a physician and investor from BioStar Capital, praised Field Medical for addressing significant challenges in cardiology and emphasized the urgency of their innovative solutions.

  • Mickelsen expressed confidence in their next-generation therapy designed for speed, precision, and significant clinical advancements in ventricular tachycardia care for high-risk patients.
