May 15, 1997.
    Sparta Surgical Corporation (``Company'') has filed an application 
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant 
to Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') and

reasons for such proposed withdrawal, and the facts in support thereof. 
The Securities of the Company have been listed on the Nasdaq Stock 
Market since March 12, 1992 and July 12, 1994. In making the decision 
to withdraw the Securities from listing on the BSE, the Company

maintaining the dual listing of its securities on the Nasdaq Stock 
Market and the BSE.
