ELUVIA VS. BMS VS. DCB

SPORTS randomized controlled trial results.

SPORTS randomized controlled trial results​

SPORTS is the first investigator-sponsored, core-lab adjudicated, prospective, multi-centre, three-arm RCT comparing outcomes of DES (EluviaTM) vs. BMS (investigator choice) vs. DCB (SeQuent Please), 1:1:1, in TASC C/D lesions.1

SPORTS RTC 1-Year percentage diameter stenosis results

Eluvia demonstrated statistically superior performance over BMS, whilst DCB was only non-inferior to BMS when evaluated angiographically for percent diameter stenosis and late lumen loss at 12 months.

Primary endpoint % Diameter Stenosis in Lesion

SPORTS RTC 1-Year freedom from CD-TLR results

Eluvia also demonstrated superior patient outcomes over BMS and DCB ​as evidenced by freedom from TLR through the 12-month follow-up period.​

Secondary endpoint Freedom from CD-TLR
