Tryton Medical, Inc. announced that the company received the CE Mark for the Tryton Side Branch SHORT Stent, a novel coronary stent system that broadens the treatment options in bifurcations in large vessels with a short main branch landing zone. The Tryton Side Branch SHORT Stent length is 15 mm, or 3mm shorter in the main branch zone than the standard Tryton Side Branch Stent. The company is launching the product immediately in CE Mark countries. This innovation leverages the company's proprietary, first-in-class Tri-ZONE(R) technology and adds to the Tryton family of stents. The company will launch the Tryton Side Branch SHORT Stent during EuroPCR 2013 in Paris at their exhibitor booth #M27. The Tryton Side Branch SHORT Stent is supported by the robust clinical evidence of the Tryton Side Branch Stent. Published data from more than 1,000 patients treated with the Tryton Side Branch Stent in more than 8 European post-marketing registries demonstrated low target lesion revascularization rates of 2.9% at six months and 4.0% at one year, and a low 0.5% thrombosis rate at one year. More than 7,500 patients have been treated with the Tryton Side Branch Stent and it is commercially available throughout Europe, Russia and the Middle East. The Tryton Side Branch Stent is an investigational device in the United States. Tryton has completed enrollment in the first and only randomized controlled U.S. IDE pivotal clinical trial evaluating a dedicated bifurcation stent and anticipates study outcomes will be presented at TCT 2013 in San Francisco.

Tryton Medical, Inc. announced the latest data from a pooled analysis of 905 patients treated with the Tryton Side Branch Stent.(TM). In addition, the company announced live satellite transmissions of two successful clinical cases using the Tryton stent to audiences of over 1,000 interventional cardiologists attending the conference. Data from the analysis of eight registry studies showed that in the real-world setting, the rate of target lesion revascularization (TLR) for bifurcation lesions treated with the Tryton stent was 4% at one year, with a stent thrombosis rate of 0.5%. These results and other findings from various registries were confirmed in SAFE-Try, the large prospective multicenter trial to date of the Tryton stent, which evaluated safety and efficacy in 251 patients. Data, which were presented at TCT by Giuseppe Tarantini of the University of Padua in Padua, Italy, showed a TLR of 4.4% and zero stent thrombosis at nine months.

Tryton Medical, Inc. announced results of a patient-level pooled analysis of six-month clinical outcomes of the TRYTON Side Branch Stent. Findings were presented in Paris at EuroPCR, the official congress of the European Association of Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions. Data from 905 patients treated with the Tryton stent in eight European post-marketing registries demonstrated low target lesion revascularization rates of 2.9% at six months and 4.0% at one year, and a low 0.5% thrombosis rate at one year. Results of the pooled analysis were featured in a tools and techniques session chaired by Dr. Wijns and Martin B. Leon, M.D., of Columbia University, New York. The session featured two successful live case transmissions using the Tryton stent, including a left main bifurcation, by Eulogio Garcia, M.D., of the Hospital Clinico San Carlos in Madrid, Spain.
