CRM (defibrillators and pacemakers) make up 40% of current GDT revenues. VI is now 55% and other CVS, etc. is <5%. this is the new figures from 4th qtr. and the significant growth in VI due to the stent momentum. Also, GP from a VI dollar is 2x that of CRM. Hence, gross margins and EPS benefit tremendously.

Yeah. Expect about $400 million in stent sales in 1998, based on $100M US in the last quarter of 97, reduced by expected share gains by AVEI and BSX, adding in Europe and Japan
