Executive Summary
Boston Scientific has launched its fourth-generation intracranial aneurysm stent system, Neuroform EZ, in the US and Europe. The device is intended for use in conjunction with endovascular coiling to treat wide-necked aneurysms. It employs the firm's Segmental Expansion technology, which improves anchoring and stability, and is delivered via a simplified, single-operator system which improves placement of the stent, Boston claims. The Natick, Massachusetts company is showcasing the stent at the annual meeting of the Society of Neurointerventional Surgery, which is being held in Carlsbad, California, on 26-30 July.
