In the United States, the Resolute drug-eluting stent is limited by U.S. federal law to investigational use only in an FDA-approved clinical trial, RESOLUTE US. The CoreValve System and the IN.PACT Falcon drug-eluting balloon are not available in the United States for clinical trial or commercial use or sale. All of these devices have received the CE (Conformité Européenne) mark, making them widely available outside the United States, Canada and Japan.

Medtronic is committed to advancing the treatment of cardiovascular disease through collaboration with leading clinicians, researchers and scientists worldwide.
