UPDATED May 17, 2013 with comment from Tryton CEO Shawn McCarthy.
Tryton Medical said it got the green light in Europe for its side-branch short coronary stent to treat bifurcation lesions in large vessels.
The new stent is 15mm, 3mm shorter in the main branch zone than the standard Tryton side-branch stent, the Durham, N.C.-based medical device company said.
