“In peripheral vascular, we grew low single digits, and we expect growth to improve as we continue to launch the NeuroGard IEP carotid stent and begin the launch of our Liberant mechanical thrombectomy system.”

In context

“s today. So I'll start with our cardiovascular portfolio, where we grew 9%. This was our strongest growth over a decade, excluding the easy comparisons we had after the pandemic. The growth acceleration was driven by our building momentum in CAS, which Geoff walked you through. And it's worth noting that PFA is now 75% of our cardiac ablation revenue. Our PFA growth significantly offset the 40% declines we had in cryo, and 90% of our remaining cryo revenue is in markets outside of The U.S. And look, it wasn't just casts. The rest of our cardiovascular portfolio grew a combined mid-single digits. Cardiac Rhythm Management grew 5%, with 18% growth in Micra leadless pacemakers and nearly 80% growth in Aurora EVICDs. In Structural Heart, we grew 7% on the strength of the Evolut TAVR platform. In peripheral vascular, we grew low single digits, and we expect growth to improve as we continue to launch the NeuroGard IEP carotid stent and begin the launch of our Liberant mechanical thrombectomy system. Next, in our neuroscience portfolio, our growth returned to mid-single digits as expected, with growth of 4%. In Cranial and Spinal Technologies, we grew 5%. That included 8% growth in Core Spine, both globally and in The U.S, and 5% in neurosurgery capital equipment. Our SpineABLE ecosystem, which includes AI-enabled preoperative planning software, and enabling capital equipment, including robotics, navigation, imaging, and powered surgical instruments, continues to attract strong spine surgeon adoption and drive meaningful share gains. And this is enabling strong pull-through of our Core Spine hardware. Our Specialty Therapies businesses had flat results in Q2, an expected improvement from last quarter driven by ENT and neurovascular. We have clear line of sight to continued improvement”
