Abbott (NYSE:ABT) announced today that the Xience stent family received FDA approval for one-month dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) labeling.
The FDA’s approval for one-month (as short as 28 days) DAPT labeling applies to high bleeding risk (HBR) patients in the U.S., according to a news release. The company also recently received CE mark approval in Europe for DAPT as short as 28 days, which it says gives Xience stents the shortest DAPT indication in the world.
