It also develops structural heart therapies. Beyond this, Boston Scientific supplies an array of stents, balloon catheters, wires, and atherectomy systems for the treatment of arterial diseases. For venous conditions, it provides thrombectomy and acoustic pulse thrombolysis systems, alongside wires and stents. Critically, the company also contributes to cancer treatment through peripheral embolization devices, radioactive microspheres, various ablation systems (including cryotherapy), and micro and drainage catheters.
