Available in a broad size matrix (including a new 2.0 mm diameter), the CE mark labeling for Resolute Onyx DES includes information on one month of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). The labeling states: "One year data from the Global RESOLUTE Program indicates low stent thrombosis rates for those who interrupted or discontinued DAPT any time after one month. While physicians should continue to adhere to current ESC or ACC/AHA/SCAI guidelines for PCI, patients who interrupt or discontinue DAPT medication one month or more after stent implantation are considered at low risk and showed no increased risk for stent thrombosis."

Resolute Onyx expands Medtronic's interventional cardiology portfolio of medical devices across Coronary, Renal Denervation and TAVI, and is the latest in a series of 12 new product introductions planned over the next two years.


The Resolute Onyx DES is now available in select countries that recognize the CE mark.

In collaboration with leading clinicians, researchers and scientists, Medtronic offers the broadest range of innovative medical technology for the interventional and surgical treatment of cardiovascular disease and cardiac arrhythmias. The company strives to offer products and services that deliver clinical and economic value to healthcare consumers and providers worldwide.
