What is Eluvia used for?

Eluvia’s unique polymer-based technology is designed to sustain drug release to match restenosis in the SFA. Eluvia provides consistent, durable outcomes in challenging SFA disease and features a polymer design for controlled drug release.

Is Eluvia a word?

e•lu•vi•um a deposit of soil, dust, etc., formed from the decomposition of rock and found in its place of origin.

How do you deploy an Eluvia stent?

Roll the thumbwheel of the deployment handle in the direction of the arrow indicated on the handle. Continue to roll thumbwheel until the middle shaft radiopaque marker band passes the distal stent radiopaque markers. Watch for the distal stent radiopaque markers to begin separating as stent starts deploying.

What medication is in drug-eluting stent?

Paclitaxel-eluting or sirolimus-eluting stents to prevent restenosis in diabetic patients. N Engl J Med.

What is ISR in cardiology?

ISR is defined as the gradual re-narrowing of a stented coronary artery lesion due to arterial damage with subsequent neointimal tissue proliferation.

What is Imperial trial?

IMPERIAL Trial: A global randomized controlled multi-center trial with 2:1 randomization of the Eluvia™ Drug-Eluting Stent against Cook Medical’s Zilver™ PTX™ Stent, single-blind, non-inferiority design; independent core lab adjudication.

What is SFA disease?

The superficial femoral artery (SFA) is a frequent target of atherosclerotic disease predominantly in the proximal section near the bifurcation to the deep femoral artery and in the distal section where the adductor muscles tend to compress the artery.

Why are drug-eluting stents better?

In general, drug-eluting stents are less likely to cause restenosis than are bare-metal stents. A drug-eluting stent is the most common type of stent used to treat a blockage of the heart arteries.

How long do drug-eluting stents last?

A stent is permanent. Once placed, you’ll have it for life, which your body can safely tolerate. If your arteries narrow again, you’ll need to have the procedure again to correct it. If this happens, it’s usually within the first 6 months.

What is ISR in angiogram?

Definition. The definition of ISR remains an angiographic one: namely, recurrent diameter stenosis >50% at the stent segment or its edges (5-mm segments adjacent to the stent) 41, 42. Angiography not only allows determination of ISR severity but also its morphological pattern.
