Drug-Eluting Stents for Peripheral Arterial Disease
Clinical Application
Prolong stent patency
DES for Peripheral Applications: Intended Clinical Benefit
• Scaffolding prevents vessel shrinkage
• Anti-proliferative drugs (eg, paclitaxel) counteract
neointimal response to stenting
• Clinical trials of drug-eluting stents have shown improved stent patency following treatment of femoropopliteal2 and below-the-knee3,4 lesions

Considerations for DES in Peripheral Artery Disease
Clinical Application
Leave Nothing Behind?
‘Leave nothing behind’ strategy is based on the belief that
leaving no scaffold allows for future intervention options:
• Stent
• Bypass
• Repeat PTA
Is this strategy carrying over into clinical studies and real
world use?• Stenting studies have shown 40-50% acute PTA failures
received stents1,2
• Provisional stenting in DCB studies ranges from 2-50% -varies due to study design and lesion complexity
1Dake M et al. Circ Cardiovasc Interv 2011. 2Laird J et al. Circ Cardiovasc Interv 2010.
Stents used in DCB studies
• Stents are utilized in DCB studies • Real world DCB studies show higher rates of provisional stenting
Provisional Stenting in Randomized Controlled Trials may not be representative of actual stenting in studies due to study
design
Results from different trials are not directly comparable. Information provided for educational purposes.

Lesion Calcification and Drug-Coated Balloon Efficacy
• 60 patients with SFA stenosis or occlusion treated with DCB
• 50% primary patency rates in heavily calcified SFA lesions, regardless of lesion length
• Greater calcification was associated with poorer outcomes at 1 year:
- Lower patency
- Greater TLR rate
- Lower ankle-brachial index
- Greater late lumen loss

Leave nothing behindShift in strategy?
• The strategy of leaving nothing behind is based on the assumption that a future intervention is inevitable…
• What is the threshold to shift thinking?
- Is there a maximum for reintervention rates?
- Threshold for stent fracture rate?
- In certain lesions, should DES be the go to strategy?

Conclusions
• The Eluvia Drug-Eluting Stent is designed to:
- Optimize flexibility, radial strength, and fracture resistance in the SFA
- Sustain drug release when restenosis is most likely to occur
• In a swine model of femoral restenosis, Eluvia was associated with lower levels
of neointimal proliferation and a sustained biological effect at 90 days compared
with a polymer-free stent-based approach
• MAJESTIC long term follow up demonstrated:
- 83.5% primary patency at 2 years
- Freedom from TLR rate of 85.3% at 3 years
- Symptomatic and hemodynamic improvement
- Low reintervention rates achieved in subgroups of patients with challenging baseline
characteristics (i.e., diabetes, total occlusion, severe calcification)
• Boston Scientific’s Peripheral Drug-Eluting Stent Clinical program is a robust
series of studies aimed to provide further data about the Eluvia DES
• DES show promising results for PAD treatment in select patient populations and
may yield relative cost savings in certain clinical situations
