Abbott has announced receiving FDA clearance for the company’s Omnilink Elite Vascular Balloon-Expandable Stent System, a cobalt chromium alloy stent for treatment of iliac artery disease.
The approval stems from a clinical study comparing Abbott’s Absolute Pro stent to the Omnilink Elite, which resulted in “a nine-month major adverse event rate of 6.1 percent for patients treated with Absolute Pro and 5.4 percent for patients treated with Omnilink Elite.” This was considerably below the study’s endpoint goal of 19.5 percent.
