Intact Vascular said today that it won CE Mark approval in the European Union for its Tack endovascular system to repair arterial dissections after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty below the knee. The indication extends the system’s use in the EU to the tibial arteries between the knee and the ankle.
The Tack implant can be used in arteries ranging from 1.5 mm to 4.5 mm in diameter and unlike stents, it adapts to the diameter of the artery, according to Wayne, Penn.-based Intact Vascular.
