European Union Grants CE Mark for Intact Vascular’s Tack Endovascular System

Wayne, Pennsylvania–based Vascular Tack has attained the CE Mark for its Tack endovascular system for repairing arterial dissections following percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) below the knee.

The design of the device implant allows it to be used in arteries ranging from 1.5 mm to 4.5 mm in diameter. Unlike stents, which have to be precisely sized to the artery where they will be placed, the device adapts to the diameter of the artery.

The extended indication in the EU enables the use of the system in the tibial arteries between the knee and ankle. — Cynthia Jessup
