Benchmark initiates coverage on Vascular Solutions (NASDAQ: VASC) with a Buy. PT $15.00.

Analyst, James Terwilliger, said, "In Q1:12, VASC posted Catheter products revenue of $14.9 million. This represented 18% growth compared to the same period last year and represented 63% of total revenue for the quarter. We are encouraged by the strong growth that was visible in Q1:12 as the Pronto aspiration catheter product line faced competitive price pressure. Even with this pressure, the division generated 18% growth and we estimate that if we exclude the Pronto business, which is under pressure, then growth in the Catheter products division would have been in a range of 20-25%...For 2012, we estimate Catheter product revenue of $61.9 million or 63% of total revenue. This represents a 17% growth rate compared to the same period last year. For 2013, we estimate Catheter revenue of $70.5 million."
