$5K for a stent is outrageous. $2-3K is realistic. We’re talking the product unit, not the procedure. And w future FDA approval does not mean there’s gonna be millions of people scheduling surgery.
BUT it does make us prime for a BO now. It’s been discussed extensively on other forums. And today’s fast track designation makes us a target for deep pockets. Especially if the technology could be repurposed for other conditions (I don’t know what they would be)
