In structural heart, Q3 was a little softer as expected and grew low single digits. We had a stronger quarter internationally and continue to gain share in Europe. This was partially offset in the U.S. where we annualized our Evolut FX Plus launch and saw some competitive pressure. I'll now pivot to our Neuroscience portfolio, which grew 3%.

This large business delivered mid-single-digit growth, including 8% growth from strong pull-through in core spine. We're excited to offer customers our new navigation and robotics platform, Stealth AXiS, which Geoff just mentioned. With FDA clearance achieved, we expect to see Stealth AXiS contribute Neurosurgery and CST overall as soon as the fourth quarter. Specialty Therapies delivered flat results in the third quarter. This is an area where we expect improved performance in the coming quarters given the series of new product developments. Neurovascular has been challenged over the last quarters due to China VBP and to the recall of Vantage, both of which are now mostly behind us. We also have line of sigh”
