Drug-eluting therapies

A bold step forward.

Boston Scientific is committed to advancing science in the fight against PAD by boldly innovating with next-generation, drug-eluting technology. Backed by Level-1 Randomized Controlled Trials, our proven exceptional results put the power of choice in the hands of those who make it happen. Together, we can save more limbs and help more people walk without pain.

IMPERIAL RTC- ~90% Patency at 1 year -COMPARE RCT

Two head-to-head trials. Zero doubt.

Bold is being the first company to conduct Level-1 head-to-head comparative effectiveness trials directly comparing drug-eluting technologies. And we did it twice.

Drug-Eluting Technologies

Eluvia™ Drug-Eluting Stent

Eluvia DES is designed with sustained release to match the restenotic process of the SFA, and has demonstrated superior primary patency at 1-Year against bare metal stents in EMINENT² and Zilver PTX in IMPERIAL³. Eluvia DES delivers superior results.

Ranger™ Drug-Coated Balloon

Ranger DCB is built on the physician preferred Sterling™ 0.014”/0.018" balloon platform⁴ with the lowest tip entry profile of any SFA DCB⁵ and backed by clinical results which demonstrate consistent near 90% patency at 1-Year⁶ and exceptional outcomes at 2 years⁷. Ranger DCB delivers like nothing else.

Addressing inequities in the treatment of Peripheral Artery Disease

ELEGANCE Patient Registry

The ELEGANCE Registry is a post-market clinical study with aims to expand the body of clinical evidence on the outcomes of patients diagnosed with peripheral artery disease — particularly those who identify as female and people of color — after being treated with a Boston Scientific drug-eluting device.
