Interventional Radiology

Boston Scientific has pioneered less-invasive medical devices for Interventional Radiology since co-founder John Abele acquired an interest in Medi-tech, Inc., a company developing alternatives to traditional surgery. Medi-tech's first products, steerable catheters, were introduced in 1969 and used in some of the earliest less-invasive procedures. Boston Scientific currently develops innovative devices for diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment of diseases such as carotid artery disease, cancer, peripheral artery disease, and diseases that affect the biliary tree.
