M e d i c i n e A v e n u e \ L L U M E N H m Angioplasty today means a balloon catheter and an often used alternative to bypass procedures. Medtronic would like to show you the future. A future that may include laser angioplasty, atherectomy devices, angioscopic catheters and implantable stents. Our work on pacemakers, defibrillators. grafts and valves gave us valuable experience in blood flow and led us into work with balloon and other catheters. Today we are not only manufacturing catheters, but investing heavily in research to improve and expand their use. We expect the results of this research will help you better manage your patients and improve their care. We've prepared an interesting brochure on this research.

Today the greatest limitation the physician faces in achieving that goal is the available technology. Consequently, areas of the coronary vasculature are difficult, but not impossible, to reach and cross. Medtronic has been working diligently to improve angioplasty technologies and increase lesion access by providing greater tip flexibility, greater torque control and more sensitive handling, a slimmer balloon profile, a surface that slides more easily and a catheter tip and shaft that are highly visible under fluoroscopy. Two of these advanced balloon catheters, Omniflex™ and Thruflex™, are now available. If you would like more information on these products and Medtronic's ongoing angioplasty research, please call us at 1-800-328-2518. Ccpyrqrt C t* U r t m he. Medtronic P 78
