Segment Details
Peripheral Vascular (PV) business sales were $52.9 million, compared with $51.1 million in the year-ago quarter. As a result of the Cook Medical recall, the company earned significant amount of extra revenue in this business segment.
Vascular Access (VA) sales declined almost 5.9% year over year to $23.5 million, partially offset by solid growth at BioFlo Midlines and Dialysis.
Sales at the Oncology/Surgery business decreased 5.5% from the year-ago quarter to $11.7 million owing to lower sales in ablation products and NanoKnife capital. This was however offset to some extent by high sales at the NanoKnife utilization platform.

Coming to operating expenses, general & administrative (G&A) as well as sales & marketing (S&M) and research & development (R&D) expenses declined 30 bps, 20 bps and 30 bps, respectively as percentage of revenues.
