Avinger Stock Surges As Pantheris Scores FDA Approval For In-Stent Restenosis Indication

  • Avinger Inc AVGR received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for a new clinical indication for the Pantheris image-guided atherectomy system.
  • The clearance allows the Company to directly market Pantheris for in-stent restenosis (ISR) in the lower extremity arteries.
  • To support the 510(k) submission, Avinger provided data generated from the INSIGHT trial evaluating the safety and effectiveness of Pantheris for treating in-stent restenosis in lower extremity arteries.
  • In-stent restenosis occurs when a blocked artery previously treated with a stent becomes narrowed again, reducing blood flow.
