“We intend to actively pursue new and innovative vascular technologies that are clinically relevant to surgeons, hospitals and patients, with a commitment to world-class medical education, clinical research and excellent procedural outcomes.”

Deerfield Management partner Andrew ElBardissi said: “We are excited about the progress that Endologix has made over the past year.

“With the acquisition of PQ Bypass, we believe the company is positioned to accelerate its leadership in the treatment of vascular disease, and we look forward to supporting continued growth.”

The companies have not divulged the financial details of the deal.
