STENTYS announced that Xposition S, the Sirolimus-eluting Self-Apposing stent, received CE Marking for the treatment of Unprotected Left Main Coronary artery disease on the basis of the results from a study published last year in the peer-reviewed journal Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions (CCI). When treating patients with left main coronary artery disease, the large diameter of the left main artery and the significant vessel tapering at that location represents serious challenges for conventional balloon-expandable DES that often result in important stent structural deformations. The STENTYS Self-Apposing stent can adapt to vessels with varying diameters and ensure optimal fit to the vessel wall along the entire stented length.

Xposition S new delivery catheter also enables very accurate stent positioning, a key feature when the lesion is close to the aorta.
