ITGI Medical launches new pericardium covered stent

At its initial step, ITGI launches Over and Under pericardium covered stent (PCS) in England, in collaboration with Pyramed, ITGI’s distributor in England. In parallel, the company launches its sales in Ireland together with its local distributor Lecks Medical and in Switzerland through Euromed Endovascular.

According to the company, Over and Under is a stent 100% covered with a heterologous tissue, designed to set a barrier between the coronary blood vessel wall and its lumen. It is intended for situations such as degenerated saphenous vein graft (SVG), aneurysms and perforations.

Efri Argaman, CEO of ITGI Medical, said: “Over and Under PCS is especially suitable for patients with degenerated SVG where the lesions are less calcified than those in native coronaries.”
