MD, Service de Cardiologie, Clinique
Turin, Paris, France. "For the live case, we want to really test the
CATANIA(TM) Stent's capabilities in a challenging anatomy, because of the
clinical evidence that Polyzene(R)-F nanocoating prevents thrombosis,
restenosis and reocclusion. Based on my experience, I believe the
CATANIA(TM) Stent is an ideal choice for treating coronary artery disease,
including chronic total occlusions."
The rapid-exchange, cobalt-chromium CATANIA(TM) Stent features a
modified open-cell design and is available in 60 sizes in lengths from 8mm
to 38mm and in diameters, from 2.0 to 4.0mm. The CATANIA(TM) Stent does not
contain any drugs, off-loaded materials or biological substitutes. The
proprietary nanothin, highly lubricious Polyzene(R)-F is a synthesized,
inorganic, biocompatible polymer that is anti-thrombotic,
anti-inflammatory, bacterial-resistant, and essentially cloaks the device's
presence from the body to promote healthy endothelial cell growth without
stimulating platelet activation. This unique combination of stent and
surface treatment effectively creates a new and different class of stent
that does not require long-term dual anti-platelet therapy.
"It is exceptionally gratifying that Dr. Corcos and Dr. Ochiai selected
to showcase the abilities of the CATANIA(TM) Stent in such an important,
and difficult-to-treat live case, because we design all of our products
from the ground up using direct feedback from the physicians who use them,"
said Thomas A. Gordy, President and Chief Executive Officer, CeloNova
BioSciences, Inc. "We are looking forward to presenting the CATANIA(TM)
long-term, First-In-Man data on the world stage later this month during the
Transcatheter Therapeutics (TCT) annual meeting in Washington, DC."
