Interventional Cardiology Therapies

Our focus

Minimally invasive technologies to improve the lives of patients living with heart and vascular conditions.

Jim’s story

We’re committed to advancing interventional cardiology therapies through less invasive technologies that improve outcomes, deliver care to more patients, reduce costs, and help millions live healthier lives.

Delivering meaningful innovation

Modern approach to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

A comprehensive portfolio of PCI devices and training designed to help interventional cardiologists provide patients with complex coronary artery disease the best possible treatment and quality of life.

Peace of mind.

The SENTINEL™ Cerebral Protection System (CPS) is the first and only commercially available device in the U.S. offering protected transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) – proven embolic protection against the risk of TAVR-related stroke.

Healing with confidence.

 Available in a portfolio with distinct options to treat the unique needs of patients, the SYNERGY™ Bioabsorbable Polymer Stent is intentionally designed with thin struts and a fast-absorbing bioabsorbable polymer coating, which enable rapid healing and shortened dual-antiplatelet therapy.  

Designed to optimize TAVR.

The ACURATE neo2™ Aortic Valve System* is a self-expanding, supra-annular valve designed to provide effective sealing, placement accuracy, predictable release, and expanded patient access for patients with aortic stenosis who are indicated for TAVR.

SENTINEL Cerebral Protection System

AGENT™ Drug-Coated Balloon

The AGENT™ Drug-Coated Balloon is the first and only coronary drug-coated balloon approved for use in the U.S. Available in global markets since 2014, AGENT expands treatment options for patients with coronary artery disease who experience in-stent restenosis by delivering a targeted anti-stenotic drug dose without an extra layer of metal.

SENTINEL Cerebral Protection System

SENTINEL™ Cerebral Protection System (CPS)

The SENTINEL Cerebral Protection System offers protection from the risk of stroke during TAVR. It works by capturing embolic debris dislodged during TAVR before it can reach the brain. Clinical trials involving more than 5,000 patients patients have demonstrated that the SENTINEL device is safe and effective. This technology has been used to protect thousands of patients worldwide and is the most-studied embolic protection device in its field.5-7

SYNERGY BP Stent

SYNERGY™ Bioabsorbable Polymer Stent System

The SYNERGY BP Stent is a drug-eluting stent with a bioabsorbable polymer coating designed to address the challenges associated with permanent polymer stents such as inflammation, neoatherosclerosis, and late stent thrombosis.

The SYNERGY BP Stent provides synchronous drug elution and polymer absorption providing rapid healing and freedom from long-term polymer exposure. In more than 18,000 patients across nine studies, this technology demonstrated outstanding safety with consistently low stent thrombosis rates.8

ACURATE neo2 Aortic Valve System

ACURATE neo2™ Aortic Valve System*

The ACURATE neo2 Aortic Valve System is a TAVR technology indicated to restore function and normal blood flow through a severely narrowed valve in patients with aortic stenosis. The new platform is designed with several features to improve upon the clinical performance of the original ACURATE neo platform, including a new annular sealing technology that conforms to irregular, calcified anatomies and further minimizes paravalvular leakage to ensure the best patient outcomes.

AVVIGO Guidance System II

AVVIGO™+ Multi-Modality Guidance System 

The AVVIGO™+ Multi-Modality Guidance System is a streamlined software and hardware platform that provides high-quality intravascular imaging (IVUS) and physiology experience. The new platform is designed with several features to enable faster, more efficient procedures for patients with coronary artery disease, including a machine learning algorithm to provide physicians with automated and precise vessel measurements.
