Boca Raton Regional Hospital Utilizing First Drug-eluting Stent for Treatment of Peripheral Artery Disease

Hospital First in Palm Beach County to Offer Device

Boca Regional is the first hospital in Palm Beach County to utilize the device.

"With this device, we will begin to undergo a revolution in the management of peripheral artery disease that mirrors the advances realized when drug-eluting stents were introduced in treating coronary artery disease," said W. Anthony Lee, MD, Director of the Endovascular Program at Boca Regional's Christine E. Lynn Heart & Vascular Institute. "We believe this approach will fast become the standard of care for patients with PAD."
