Carotid WALLSTENT<br />
# 26 ® Monorail ® Endoprosthesis and<br />
FilterWire EZ Embolic Protection System<br />
Introduced in 2006/2008* by the Peripheral Interventions business<br />
* The Carotid WALLSTENT was introduced in<br />
2008 and the FilterWire EZ was introduced<br />
in 2006.<br />
The Carotid WALLSTENT and FilterWire EZ are<br />
used together in carotid artery stenting<br />
procedures -- a minimally invasive alternative to<br />
surgery for treating blockages in the carotid<br />
arteries. The Carotid WALLSTENT features a<br />
closed-cell design, engineered for excellent<br />
lesion coverage and angiographic results, while<br />
the FilterWire EZ Embolic Protection System is<br />
designed to capture plaque debris released<br />
during the stenting procedure, preventing it from<br />
traveling to the brain. Before its launch in the<br />
U.S., the Carotid WALLSTENT became the<br />
leading carotid stent in Europe and other<br />
international markets due to excellent patient<br />
outcomes and ease of use in complex anatomy.
