ArtVentive Medical Group announced today that the company conducted its first animal study of its next generation of the ArtVentive Endoluminal Occlusion System (EOS™ Gen II).

The EOS™ is designed for use in the peripheral vasculature and offers immediate and permanent vessel occlusion in arterial and venous settings.
