The Innovator

Dr. Riyaz Bashir created the BASHIR™ Endovascular Catheters in partnership with Thrombolex to dissolve blood clots quickly and effectively to improve the quality of life for patients suffering from arterial and venous thromboembolic (A+VTE) conditions.

“VTE has become a significant health concern in the US…causing up to 100,000 deaths each year. My inspiration was to develop a device that would provide better treatment outcomes by enhancing both endogenous and exogenous fibrinolysis.”
– Dr. Riyaz Bashir

Riyaz Bashir, MD, FACC, RVT, is a Professor of Medicine for the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University, (Philadelphia PA) and Director of Vascular and Endovascular Medicine at Temple University Hospital.
