Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE : BSX) announced today that the Apex(TM) Monorail and Over-The-Wire (OTW) PTCA dilatation catheters have received CE Mark approval. Both Monorail and OTW catheters are available in two designs to provide European physicians with further options for managing patients with complex atherosclerosis (blockage of the arteries). Apex is a high-performance balloon catheter that allows physicians to reach and cross the most challenging atherosclerotic lesions. Designed for use with drug-eluting stents, Apex has been developed specifically to address physicians’ need for a catheter that can reach not only the furthest blockages but also cross particularly tight or complex lesions.
