Venture development in biomedical advances: transforming cardiovascular surgery with arachidonic acid micro encapsulation - scientific foundations and business concept

Abstract

This Master's thesis presents a business plan developed as part of a group project, focusing on the venture development of an innovative approach to reduce postoperative bleeding — a critical healthcare challenge with substantial health, social, and economic implications. It proposes preoperative supplementation with microencapsulated arachidonic acid (AA) based on recent research that correlates higher levels of AA with a reduced risk of bleeding. Within the broader scope of the group's thesis, this contribution explicitly addresses the scientific foundations and the business concept of the proposed venture.
