Widely used in England, endometrial ablation has not been embraced by many American surgeons who believe that these women would eventually have to undergo a hysterectomy anyway.

-- Cytyc Corporation (Nasdaq: CYTC), a leading provider of surgical and diagnostic products targeting cancer diagnostics and women's health, today announced that a new clinical guideline for Heavy Menstrual Bleeding (HMB), published this month by the UK National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), recommends endometrial ablation as preferable to hysterectomy for the treatment of most women who suffer from heavy menstrual bleeding alone.

Flores, President and Chief Executive Officer of MedicalCV, added, "We believe that the addition of these seasoned medical device executives will have a positive impact as we implement an integrated marketing strategy of the ATRILAZE[TM] System for cardiac tissue ablation and the SOLAR[TM] System, which is subject to FDA clearance for soft tissue ablation.
