Stentys SA Launches New Stent-Delivery System to Facilitate Implantation in More Complex Vessel Anatomies

Stentys SA announced the European commercial release of an enhanced stent-delivery system for its Self- Apposing stent. Stents are implanted in the coronary arteries via a keyhole in the groin or in the wrist under angiography (X-ray imaging). Cardiologists use a delivery catheter to navigate through the arteries, reach the occluded vessel and deploy the stent. The new catheter to implant the Stentys Self-Apposing stent adds a hydrophilic (slippery) coating and an ergonomic handle that facilitates stent implantation in complex vessels.
