Clinical data and cost-effectiveness analysis demonstrates the VenoValve would provide both better health outcomes and lower costs compared to current standard of care treatments

The VenoValve could potentially save $5.9 billion annually in healthcare costs for the approximately 2.5 million U.S. patients with severe CVI

Company to host live webcast with lead author of the cost-analysis manuscript, today, August 6^th, at 12:00 PM ET; Access the Webcast Here

IRVINE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / August 6, 2025 / enVVeno Medical Corporation (Nasdaq:NVNO) (“enVVeno” or the “Company”), a company setting new standards of care for the treatment of deep venous disease, today announcedpreliminary findings from a VenoValve health economic study, which indicate that the VenoValve would be a cost-effective treatment option for patients with severe Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) caused by deep valvular incompetency. The Company announced it will host a live webcast to discuss the cost-effectiveness analysis results today, Wednesday, August 6^th at 12:00 PM ET (details below).

Key Findings from the Study Include:

• VenoValve was dominant relative to standard of care (i.e., lower costs, higher quality-adjusted life years):

  • Cost savings: $32,442 per patient over 5 years

  • Clinical benefit: 2.2 ulcers avoided per patient

  • Quality of life: 0.33 additional QALYs gained per patient

• Additional economic value associated with use of the VenoValve:

  • $14,912 saved per each venous ulcer avoided

  • $4,101 cost per each rVCSS point improvement

  • Break-even achieved between years 2-3

Results remained consistent across multiple sensitivity analyses and scenarios (different age populations, various assumptions), confirming the model’s reliability.

Mark H. Meissner M.D., surgeon at the Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Clinic at University of Washington (UW) Medical Center, a UW professor of Surgery, and the lead author of the manuscript added, “There remains a significant need for better treatment options for patients with severe, deep venous CVI, an advanced disease that affects millions of Americans annually and accounts for 1-2% of total healthcare expenditures, roughly ~$90 billion. These comprehensive economic analysis results, coupled with the robust clinical data demonstrated in the VenoValve U.S. pivotal trial, well positions the VenoValve to address the significant treatment gap while providing substantial economic value to the healthcare system.”

“There are several factors that need to align in order to promote wide adoption of a first-in-class medical device. Two of the more important factors are good clinical results, and a willingness to pay for the device and the procedure. This health economic study provides evidence that the VenoValve would be extremely cost-effective, resulting in substantial health cost savings over time. This cost-effectiveness data, together with the strong clinical evidence from the pivotal trial, make a compelling package for commercial payors such as private health insurance providers and employers, that often make coverage decisions based upon both clinical and cost-effectiveness data”, added Robert Berman, enVVeno Medical’s Chief Executive Officer.

While private payors generally make coverage decisions based upon clinical evidence and cost effectiveness, Medicare makes coverage decisions based upon clinical effectiveness to support reasonable and necessary criteria for the Medicare population.

As part of the health economic study, a de novo cost-effectiveness model was developed to simulate clinical and economic outcomes for patients with deep venous CVI caused valvular incompetence. The model structure was based on health states defined by the revised Venous Clinical Severity Score (rVCSS), which were derived from a post-hoc analysis of the one-year results from the VenoValve U.S. pivotal trial. Key input values for transition probabilities, clinical events, costs of care, and utilities were sourced from the pivotal trial and publicly available sources. Six-month cycles were assumed for the first year, to match the VenoValve pivotal trial, followed by annual cycles; outcomes were compared over a 5-year time horizon.A manuscript describing the full methodology and findings has been submitted for peer review and publication.

The VenoValve is a potential first-in-class, surgical replacement venous valve for patients with severe deep venous CVI. The Company estimates that approximately 2.5 million people in the United States could be candidates for the VenoValve, including approximately 1.5 million diagnosed with venous ulcers. The Company has submitted a pre-market authorization (PMA) application for the VenoValve to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), with a decision anticipated in the second half of 2025.

Webcast Details

The Company will host a webcast presentation to discuss the results for investors, analysts and other interested parties today, August 6, 2025, at 12:00 PM ET. Joining enVVeno management for the event will be Dr. Meissner. The live webcast will be accessible on the Events page of the enVVeno website, envveno.com, and will be archived for 90 days.

About CVI

Severe deep venous CVI is a serious and debilitating disease that is most often caused by blood clots (deep vein thromboses or DVTs) in the deep veins of the leg. When valves inside of the veins of the leg fail, blood flows in the wrong direction and pools in the lower leg, causing pressure within the veins of the leg to increase (venous hypertension).

Symptoms of CVI include leg swelling, pain, edema, and in the most severe cases, recurrent open sores known as venous ulcers. The disease can severely impact everyday functions such as sleeping, bathing, dressing, and walking, and is known to result in high rates of depression and anxiety. There are currently no effective treatments that repair deep venous valve dysfunction, the #1 cause of severe CVI-a disease estimated to cost the U.S. healthcare system in excess of $26 billion each year.

About enVVeno Medical Corporation

enVVeno Medical (NASDAQ:NVNO) is an Irvine, California-based, late clinical-stage medical device Company focused on the advancement of innovative bioprosthetic (tissue-based) solutions to improve the standard of care for the treatment of deep venous disease. The Company’s lead product, the VenoValve®, is a first-in-class surgical replacement venous valve being developed for the treatment of deep venous CVI. The Company is also developing a non-surgical, transcatheter based replacement venous valve for the treatment of deep venous CVIcalled enVVe®. Both the VenoValve and enVVe are designed to act as one-way valves, to help assist in propelling blood up the leg, and back to the heart and lungs. The VenoValve is currently being evaluated in the VenoValve U.S. pivotal study and the Company is currently performing the final testing necessary to seek approval for the pivotal trial for enVVe.

As tax scams and filing errors rise, experts urge taxpayers to double-check returns and vet their preparers carefully

IRVINE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / August 6, 2025 / With more Americans relying on tax preparers than ever before, a growing number are unknowingly facing IRS penalties due to mistakes made by the very professionals they hired to help. According to Clear Start Tax, a national tax resolution firm, errors by unqualified or careless preparers can lead to audits, surprise bills, and even long-term debt – and in most cases, the taxpayer is still legally responsible.

“Many people assume that if a preparer files their return, they’re in the clear,” said a spokesperson for Clear Start Tax. “But the IRS holds the taxpayer accountable for the information on that return – even if it was filed by someone else.”

Recent IRS enforcement efforts have uncovered widespread issues with improperly claimed credits, underreported income, and missed documentation – often traced back to preparers who cut corners or lacked credentials. Some taxpayers only learn of the problem months later, when a letter from the IRS arrives demanding payment or launching an audit.

“We’re seeing clients come to us in shock after trusting someone who wasn’t even registered with the IRS,” the spokesperson said. “Unfortunately, it’s common for tax preparers to promise big refunds or rush through filings without explaining the risks.”

To avoid these costly outcomes, Clear Start Tax recommends taxpayers take simple precautions:

• Ask for the preparer’s PTIN (Preparer Tax Identification Number)

• Avoid those who guarantee large refunds without reviewing your documents

• Review your return line by line before signing

• Ensure the preparer signs the return and provides a copy

“Choosing a preparer should be treated like hiring any other financial professional – check their background, ask questions, and don’t be afraid to walk away if something feels off,” the spokesperson added. “It’s your name on that return, and you’re the one who pays if something goes wrong.”

By answering a few simple questions, taxpayers can find out if they’re eligible for the IRS Fresh Start Program and take the first step toward resolving their tax debt.

The IRS maintains a searchable directory of qualified tax preparers on its website and has issued repeated warnings about “ghost preparers” – individuals who refuse to sign returns and often vanish after tax season ends.

About Clear Start Tax

Clear Start Tax is a national tax resolution firm that helps individuals and businesses navigate IRS debt, audits, and other tax challenges. The firm provides education, support, and direct solutions to taxpayers dealing with complex IRS issues, helping them regain control of their finances with professionalism and integrity.

New IRS enforcement efforts zero in on digital storefronts amid growing concerns about underreported income

IRVINE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / August 6, 2025 / As the IRS ramps up enforcement in 2025, online sellers on platforms like Shopify, Etsy, and Amazon may find themselves under increased scrutiny. According to tax resolution firm Clear Start Tax, self-employed e-commerce vendors could be especially vulnerable to audits and unexpected tax bills if they haven’t been keeping accurate records or reporting all income.

The IRS has made it clear that digital sales will be a priority this year, with expanded use of 1099-K forms and data analytics to identify underreporting. Sellers who rely on multiple payment platforms or who haven’t consistently filed returns may be particularly at risk.

“We’re seeing a major shift in how the IRS approaches online income,” said a spokesperson for Clear Start Tax. “What used to be considered low-risk side income is now front and center. If you’re an e-commerce seller and haven’t taken tax compliance seriously, this is the year to change that.”

The tax agency is also working closely with third-party payment processors to match transaction data with reported income. Sellers who receive payments through PayPal, Stripe, or Venmo for business purposes may also be flagged if their tax filings don’t align with reported figures.

“Even small vendors are being caught off guard by 1099-Ks showing up with higher-than-expected amounts,” the Clear Start Tax spokesperson added. “Many don’t realize that refunds, shipping fees, or canceled orders can be lumped in – and the IRS may still treat it all as income until you prove otherwise.”

Clear Start Tax encourages e-commerce sellers to review their bookkeeping practices, ensure they are filing returns on time, and seek professional guidance if they have unfiled years or back taxes. Waiting until the IRS contacts you, they warn, can limit your options.

By answering a few simple questions, taxpayers can find out if they’re eligible for the IRS Fresh Start Program and take the first step toward resolving their tax debt.

“The worst thing you can do is ignore this. If you’ve fallen behind, there are ways to get back on track without penalties spiraling out of control – but the window to act before enforcement tightens is closing quickly.”

Clear Start Tax is a national tax resolution firm that helps individuals and small business owners resolve back taxes, unfiled returns, and IRS collections. With a team of licensed professionals, the company specializes in navigating complex IRS programs and helping taxpayers find long-term solutions to their tax challenges.
