About the Coherex FlatStent PFO Closure System
The Coherex FlatStent™ PFO Closure System is similar in use and function to self-expanding vascular stents which are widely used by interventional cardiologists. However, the patent-pending Coherex FlatStent Closure System incorporates a unique fusion of PFO closure mechanisms and accepted medical practices in a design expected to naturally seal a PFO tunnel.
