Abbott Announces Launch of Next-Generation Embolic Protection System
Abbott, 06/15/09
Abbott today announced the launch of the sixth-generation Emboshield NAV6 Embolic Protection System for use in carotid artery stenting procedures. Carotid artery stenting provides a minimally invasive treatment alternative to conventional open carotid artery surgery for patients who are at high risk for surgery. Embolic protection systems are used during the stenting procedure to prevent particles of dislodged plaque from flowing to the brain, potentially causing an ischemic stroke. The Emboshield NAV6 is now available in the United States and Europe.
