PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Stentys (http://www.stentys.com) announced today that its bifurcated stent was successfully implanted yesterday into a 56-year-old male patient at the HELIOS Klinikum Siegburg in Siegburg, Germany. Stentys has developed the world’s first next-generation dedicated drug-eluting stent for treatment of blocked coronary artery bifurcations so that hundreds of thousands of patients might avoid open-chest surgery. This first-in-man medical milestone took routine interventional time to complete; the patient was released from the ICU within hours of the implantation of the Stentys bifurcated stent and was discharged from the hospital shortly after the procedure.
