IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cardiogenesis Corporation , a market leader in laser transmyocardial revascularization (TMR), today announced that it sponsored an educational symposium yesterday in conjunction with the 21st Annual Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) meeting in San Francisco.
"The challenge of effectively treating patients with refractory angina is that these patients may be followed by any one of thousands of cardiologists, internists, general practitioners, and at times heart failure specialists. The TCT program was designed to update the cardiology community on clinical options and in the case of Dr. Henry's presentation, effective strategies for cardiologists to build a refractory angina practice" stated Paul J. McCormick Executive Chairman Cardiogenesis. He continued "we believe we have a solid opportunity for our current technology by working with the cardiology community to develop patient referrals. Considering the early clinical results achieved, we believe that opportunity can significantly increase with the addition of various biologics. We have a meeting scheduled with the FDA on October 21 in Rockville, MD to discuss our IDE submission for our PHOENIX(R) Combination Delivery System."
