Balt receives CE Mark for flow diverting shunt

July 9, 2020 By Sean Whooley

BaltBalt announced that it received CE Mark approval for its Silk Vista flow diverting stent for treating patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms.

Montmorency, France.-based Balt designed its Silk Vista device for predictable and accurate deployment and high visibility under angiography, adding to its already-CE-Marked Silk Vista baby flow diverter, which has been approved in Europe since 2018.

University of Toronto professor and endovascular neurosurgeon Dr. Vitor Mendes Pereira, who performed the first-in-man case of Silk Vista in Toronto last month, said in a news release that Silk Vista offers improved visibility for treating aneurysms arising off of neurovascular vessels 3.5 mm and larger.

“Balt has provided physicians for decades with unique, life-saving products to treat patients with neurovascular conditions and has been a pioneer in flow diversion technologies,” Balt CEO Pascal Girin said in the release. “The Silk Vista is an exceptional flow diverter, and we believe its elegant design and ease-of-use will lead to its rapid clinical adoption in treating aneurysms.”
