An Innovative Chronic Dialysis Catheter With Patented Triple Arterial Lumen

Design

VANCOUVER, March 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Angiotech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANPI, TSX: ANP) today announced that it will introduce and exhibit its innovative HemoStream(TM) chronic dialysis catheter at the 2008 Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) Annual Scientific Meeting to be held in Washington, DC from March 15-18, 2008.

"It's exciting to participate at SIR and showcase the addition of another 'best-in-class' device offered by Angiotech. We also anticipate that the HemoStream(TM) could be a great candidate for our combination drug-device technologies, such as Angiotech's innovative 5-FU anti-infective platform," said George Leondis, General Manager, Angiotech Interventional.

Incidences of End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) requiring dialysis are a rapidly growing challenge in healthcare worldwide. When kidneys fail, function of the kidneys can be partially replaced using a process called hemodialysis. Hemodialysis involves drawing blood out of the body, filtering it through a large machine and then returning filtered blood back to the body. Chronic dialysis catheters, such as HemoStream(TM), are used as long term vascular access for hemodialysis. HemoStream may also be used as a temporary access while more permanent options mature or become ready for use, such as a surgically created AV fistula.

A dialysis catheter, such as HemoStream(TM), is used for vascular access and is a vital connection between the patient and the hemodialysis unit. When kidneys fail, the function of the kidneys can be partially replaced using a process called hemodialysis. Hemodialysis involves drawing blood
