Three weeks ago, InspireMD announced a multi-center randomized trial of its MGuard™ embolic protection stent demonstrated a positive outcome in treating patients suffering heart attacks when compared to commercially-approved bare metal or drug-eluting stents. The MASTER, MGuard forAcute ST Elevation Reperfusion, trial enrolled 433 patients in 9 countries with detailed results scheduled to be presented at the October 22-26 Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics meeting in Miami.
The MGuard™ embolic protection stent is a coronary stent integrated with a proprietary micronet technology. The micronet is designed to hold plaque and thrombus in place against the blocked artery’s wall, preventing debris from entering the bloodstream. Plans for a U.S. FDA registration trial are underway, with patient enrollment expected to begin by year end.
An estimated 3.2 million stenting procedures are expected to be performed globally this year, of which 850,000, 26%, will be for patients having heart attacks. Stents for heart attack patients are expected to represent $1.8 billion of stent sales, 30% of the $5.9 billion global stent market. This will be a huge impact considering that for the 3 months ended March 31, 2012, total revenue decreased 32.5%, to $1.14 million versus $1.69 million during the same period in 2011.
