A Growing Medical Need

The growing sophistication of today’s surgical and interventional procedures has led to dramatic improvements in how renal disease, peripheral arterial disease, and other serious conditions are managed.

As use of these procedures continues to grow, so too do the number of people experiencing poor outcomes resulting from serious post-operative complications – from the failure of vascular access procedures for hemodialysis to restenosis following angioplasty and stent implants.

Poor outcomes threaten the health of many patients and place an unnecessarily high economic burden on the healthcare system. New therapies are needed that can improve outcomes for patients following common vascular procedures.
