European regulators have given approval to Israel's ITGI Medical to market the company's new pericardium covered coronary stent, called AneuGraft®, a device designed specifically for tortuous arteries.
Company CEO Efri Argaman said that this is the second in a series of heterologous tissue covered stents, designed to set a barrier between the blood vessel wall and its lumen.
"AneuGraft Pericardium Covered Stent is especially suitable for patients with tortuous vessels where other covered stents may not be adequate for use due to limitations resulting from tortuous anatomy," Argaman said.
