Medtronic Abbott Could Still Find a Way Out From India's High-End Stent Market
Medtronic and Abbott could take another run at taking their high-end stents off the Indian market, after the Indian National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority this week rejected their applications to withdraw.
Earlier this month, Medtronic and Abbott said they would look to withdraw select high-value coronary stents from the Indian market in light of cost caps imposed by the NPPA. Medtronic filed to remove its Resolute Onyx stent from the market, while Abbott filed to remove both its Absorb and Alpine stents.
