PRINCETON, N.J. & PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:
STENTYS (FR0010949404 — STNT) (Paris:STNT), a medical technology company commercializing the world’s first and only Self-Apposing® coronary stent, today announces the first distribution agreements for its drug-eluting stent for treating BTK (Below-The Knee) arteries in Germany and Belgium, making it the first self-expanding drug-eluting stent commercialized for this indication in Europe.
The STENTYS stent obtained CE Marking for the BTK indication at the end of 2015 following the excellent results achieved by the PES BTK-70 study, where it prevented amputation in 99% of the 70 patients treated for Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI). The rapid launch of its commercialization reflects a major medical need, particularly in Germany, Europe’s largest market.
