EndoSonics of Rancho Cordova, CA, announced this month an agreement with Jomed of Helsingborg, Sweden, to develop an intravascular ultrasound-guided stent delivery system together. The new system will integrate EndoSonics electronic imaging catheter with Jomeds stent and balloon devices. The two firms hope their combined product will decrease post-angioplasty complications and streamline interventional procedures. Jomed anticipates marketing the device in early 1999, pending CE Mark approval.
