VANCOUVER, Nov. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Angiotech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANPI, TSX: ANP), a global specialty pharmaceutical and medical device company, today announced that the Company had been notified by Ares Management (Ares) and New Leaf Venture Partners (New Leaf) that they had elected to terminate the Note Purchase Agreement dated July 7, 2008.
