AngioDynamics to Sponsor Symposium on First Human Clinical Experience with IRE TechnologyQUEENSBURY, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Jan. 16, 2009--
AngioDynamics Inc. (NASDAQ:ANGO), a leading provider of
innovative medical devices used by interventional radiologists,
nephrologists and surgeons for the minimally invasive treatment of
cancer and peripheral vascular disease, announced today that it will
sponsor a symposium in
New York City on
January 22 during which doctors
who have performed procedures using the Company's recently-introduced
NanoKnife
system will share their experiences and patient outcomes.
NanoKnife is the first product offered by AngioDynamics that uses the
new, potentially groundbreaking irreversible electroporation (IRE)
technology. IRE technology is a non-thermal ablation technique for the
resection of soft tissue. It has been described as "surgery at the
cellular level." The NanoKnife system uses electrical fields to create
nano-scale defects in the membranes of targeted soft tissue, causing
cell death only in the targeted tissue, without destroying critical
structures such as ducts, blood vessels and nerves nearby.

896-2005 or Chris Gale at (646) 201-5431.
