The trial does not appear to have started yet, although one web site
does state that about 20 sites will eventually be involved.  Is there
any other information about the trial you would like as an answer?

I do not seek other information about this trial at this time.  I will
likely re-ask this question in 2-3 months.

In a similar question: there is apparently another, similar device
called the Medtronic Diam.  There have been reports that his device
has entered into clinical trial.  Who are the clinical investyigators
for this device?

Apparently the Medtronic DIAM device, also approved for use in Europe,
has also not yet entered into clinical trials in the US, but is also
expected to later this year.

Thank you very much for your time and attention.  I will re-ask both
questions later in the year if this information is not announced.
