The devicemaker has received CE mark approval and witnessed the European market launch of the Emerge PTCA dilatation catheter. The company is hoping the product will become available in the U.S. and other markets later this year. "The Emerge catheter combines several innovative balloon technologies in a single versatile platform," explains Jean Fajadet, who performed the first procedure in Europe with the catheter.
