NEWS:  While this was an expected an FDA approval, the company did announce that its corporate partner, Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE: BSX), has received FDA approval to mart its TAXUS(R) Liberte(R) Long Paclitaxel-Eluting Coronary Stent System.  This is the next-generation drug-eluting stent (DES) designed for long lesions that measures 38 mm and can potentially reduce the number of stents used in more Byzantine cases.
