Michael Matson has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors tied to the recent FDA approval of Artivion’s AMDS Hybrid Prosthesis. The new approval materially enlarges the device’s eligible patient pool in acute DeBakey Type I dissections with malperfusion, lifting AMDS’s U.S. addressable share of this market from roughly 40% to about 60% and adding an estimated 3,600 patients and approximately $90M of potential annual revenue.

Matson also highlights that, with full PMA approval, hospitals are no longer constrained by Institutional Review Board requirements, which should accelerate adoption and utilization. Coupled with management’s confidence in ultimately addressing the full $150M U.S. market and the attractive margin profile of AMDS, these developments support maintaining the Buy rating and an unchanged $44 price target.

In another report released today, Lake Street also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $45.00 price target.
