This is a rare commercial setback for ABT, who invested a lot in the development of ABSORB and the bioabsorbable-stent technology on which it is based. Although ABSORB is still on the market in the US, the sales are apt to be small following the data reported in #msg-129683267.
ABT is trading flat today.
