OverviewEluvia DES is a polymer-coated, paclitaxel-eluting nitinol vascular stent developed for treatment of disease in the superficial femoral artery (SFA) and proximal popliteal segments. It combines sustained, controlled drug release with a design aimed at flexibility and precise placement in challenging femoropopliteal anatomy.
How it worksEluvia DES delivers paclitaxel to the target lesion over an extended period (beyond one year) via a durable polymer coating. The coating regulates release during the restenotic window, minimizes systemic washout, and concentrates the drug at the lesion site to reduce neointimal proliferation.
Key features- Sustained, controlled paclitaxel release through a polymer coating matched to the SFA restenotic timeline.
- Design optimized for femoropopliteal disease: flexibility and precise stent deployment.
- Efficient target lesion drug delivery maintained for over one year.
- Low drug dose density among paclitaxel therapies: 0.167 µg/mm² (reported as ~18× lower than Zilver PTX).
- Consistent, durable clinical performance in complex SFA lesions.
Clinical evidence- SPORTS RCT (Oct 2023): Investigator-sponsored, prospective, multicenter, three-arm RCT (Eluvia DES vs. BMS vs. DCB) in TASC C/D lesions. Eluvia arm included complex lesions (mean lesion length ~235 mm). Primary endpoint: percent diameter stenosis at 12 months — Eluvia showed statistically superior performance vs BMS; Eluvia demonstrated superior freedom from CD-TLR at 12 months.
- IMPERIAL RCT (Aug 2018): Head-to-head RCT comparing polymer-coated Eluvia DES to polymer-free paclitaxel-coated Zilver PTX for femoropopliteal lesions ≤140 mm. At 1 year, Eluvia achieved significantly higher primary patency vs Zilver PTX; at 2 years, fewer clinically driven TLRs versus Zilver PTX.
- EMINENT RCT (Oct 2022): Largest RCT (2:1) vs self-expanding bare-metal stents for SFA/proximal popliteal. Eluvia demonstrated superiority with 1-year primary patency (85.4% vs 76.3%) and greater sustained clinical improvement without reintervention through 1 year.
