InfraReDx Inc. added the European Union to its market for the LipiScan IVUS coronary imaging system.
The Burlington, Mass.-based company won CE Mark approval for the device, which employs both so-called "near-infrared" (NIR) spectroscopy and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) technology to give cardiologists a grayscale image of a coronary artery, along with a map of lipid core coronary plaques within a blood vessel.
