PARIS, May 20, 2010 — Arterial Remodeling Technologies (“ART”) disclosed the results of an in vivo study of 48 porcine arteries implanted with its biodegradable stent. The study demonstrated that (1) the ART stent’s biodegradation is measurable and begins at the first day of implant; (2) that the ART stent retains high radial strength, thus maintaining its structural integrity during biodegradation; and, (3) that the ART stent causes virtually no inflammation of the blood vessel wall.Previous validating data regarding ART’s next-generation bioresorbable stent approach has been published in the January 2010 special supplement of EuroIntervention, a peerreviewed journal. The paper was authored by Antoine Lafont, M.D., Ph.D., Head, Interventional Cardiology Department, Georges Pompidou Hospital (Paris); Past Chairman, Interventional Cardiology Group, European Society of Cardiology (ESC)...
