Joe, it's been a few years since we last looked at VASO. The overwhelming problem for this co. was the lack of insurance coverage, but as you pointed out, that is no longer an issue.

The underlying theory behind VASO's products has been around for a while:

<ENHANCED EXTERNAL COUNTERPULSATION
This technique dates back to the 1950s but has become the subject of intense research lately. It offers a method of relieving angina without resorting to medication or surgery. It is not known exactly why it works, but people believe it promotes the development of new blood vessels in the heart that grow around the blocked arteries.

Compressive cuffs are wrapped around the patient's calves, lower thighs and upper thighs. The cuffs inflate sequentially when the heart is filling with blood and deflate when the heart is ejecting blood. This increases the blood flow into the arteries of the heart and reduces the workload of the heart. The procedure is well tolerated by patients.

Patients are treated for one hour at a time for 35 sessions-usually 5 time a week for seven weeks. The most recent studies suggest that patients will experience some improvement in their angina and less abnormalities on their stress tests after undergoing this procedure.>

I am just starting to get re-acquainted with VASO. Next step would be looking over the competition, market share and potential market size.

Regarding a catalyst, VASO's earnings might be a pleasent surprise that gets this stock rolling.
