Interventional technology firm Medtronic said that it has received Japanese regulatory approval and will begin sales in the country of its Micro-Driver coronary stent system, a cobalt-chromium stent designed for blood vessels smaller than 3 mm in diameter that require stents.
The device is an extension of the firm's Medtronic Driver stent, a bare-metal stent for patients with larger blood vessels, according to the Minneapolis-based firm.
