Abbott’s 2.5mm Xience V stent granted CE Mark approval

Abbott has received CE Mark approval for a 2.25 mm version of its Xience V Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System that offers physicians a smaller stent based upon the proven efficacy, positive safety results and excellent deliverability of Xience V.

The 2.25mm version of the Xience V stent will be launched immediately in the majority of European markets and select countries in Asia and Latin America. In addition to the 2.25mm stent, Xience V is available in stent diameters of 2.5mm, 2.75mm, 3mm, 3.5mm and 4mm for lesions 28mm or shorter.

The addition of the 2.25mm stent to the Xience V portfolio gives physicians access to a wider range of stent sizes for treating a variety of patient types. Xience V is an investigational device in the US and Japan, and is currently under review for approval by the FDA.
