Abbott (NYSE: ABT) announced the start of the XIENCE V(TM) USA post-approval study, with six hospital centers already recruiting and enrolling patients just one week after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the XIENCE V(TM) Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System. The XIENCE V USA study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the XIENCE V drug eluting stent in a real-world clinical setting out to five years. Jack Jones, M.D., interventional cardiologist and medical director of the Stormont-Vail Catheterization Lab in Topeka, Kan., was one of the first physicians to enroll a patient into the study.
