Merit Medical Systems has purchased $105 million in assets from EndoGastric Solutions.

The deal will expand Merit's endoscopy portfolio for the treatment of chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and will add $30 million in annual revenue to the company's bottom line. EndoGastric Solutions' EsophyX Z+ relieves GERD symptoms via a procedure called transoral incisionless fundoplication, Merit noted.

(A) Axial noncontrast CT chest image shows soft tissue mass in the anterior chest wall (arrow). The lesion was treated by percutaneous cryoablation. (B) Intraprocedural axial CT image obtained during cryoablation. The pink outline represents the target lesion and the blue outline represents ice ball. Based on review, the procedure was classified as achieving adequate ablation. (C) Axial contrast-enhanced CT chest image, obtained three months after ablation (patient’s first follow-up exam), shows involution of the target lesion without evidence of residue.
