When Ramin Mousavi, President and CEO of CathWorks, steps onto an LSI stage, he likes to mention that CathWorks was the very first company to present at the very first LSI Emerging Medtech Summit, in 2020. It’s an aside delivered with a smile, and is not so much nostalgic but rather a celebratory reflection backed up by 12+ years of startup peaks and valleys, and a game-changing build-to-buy deal with device industry giant Medtronic. For Mousavi, success in medtech is not about flash or speed. It’s about playing the long game, building deliberately, and earning outcomes through persistence and precision. He has built his career around that philosophy.
