Unveiling Breakthrough Results of SELUTION SLR™ in PAD Treatment

Groundbreaking Insights on the SELUTION SLR™ Drug-Eluting Balloon
Cordis has made significant strides in interventional cardiovascular technology, recently unveiling impressive data from extensive studies involving the SELUTION SLR™ Drug-Eluting Balloon (DEB). The findings shed light on the durable efficacy of this innovative device in patients suffering from complex peripheral artery disease (PAD).
Results of the SELUTION SFA Japan Trial
Outstanding 3-Year Primary Patency Rates
The SELUTION SFA Japan trial was a comprehensive, prospective study that meticulously examined the SELUTION SLR™ DEB in a diverse group of 134 complex patients across multiple medical sites. Results revealed a remarkable primary patency of 81.5% at the three-year mark, alongside an impressive freedom from Clinically Driven Target Lesion Revascularization (CD-TLR) rate of 93.8%. This pioneering outcome sets SELUTION SLR™ apart as the only drug-eluting technology to achieve core-lab adjudicated 3-year patency rates exceeding 80%.
Dr. Iida, the Principal Investigator associated with the study, emphasized the transformative potential of SELUTION SLR™ DEB: 'The outcomes reflect a remarkable evolution in treatment strategies aimed at delivering comprehensive solutions for patients with complex conditions. Unlike traditional paclitaxel-based treatments, these results demonstrate a significant and lasting improvement in patient care.'
Impressive Data from the SUCCESS PTA Study
Real-World Effectiveness Across Varied Patient Populations
The SUCCESS PTA Study represents a global observational registry, favorably tracking the performance of SELUTION SLR™ DEB across 723 patients from diverse geographic locations, including Europe, Asia, and South America. Notably, the study captured a range of patient presentations, with 74.2% exhibiting claudication and 25.8% presenting with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI).
At the 12-month follow-up, the primary endpoint—freedom from CD-TLR—revealed consistently elevated rates: 91.1% in the total patient cohort, 91.3% for those with claudication, and 90.3% for CLTI patients. The findings underscore an overarching clinical improvement, with 88.1% of patients realizing at least one level of improvement on the Rutherford category scale.
Dr. Michael Lichtenberg, a key investigator in the study, remarked, 'Integrating SELUTION SLR™ DEB, with its state-of-the-art sirolimus MicroReservoir technology, provides significant clinical advantages for complex patient groups, demonstrating reproducible safety and effectiveness outcomes.'
Innovative Drug Elution Technology
Sustaining Sirolimus Release for Enhanced Patient Outcomes
Dr. George Adams, the Chief Medical Officer at Cordis, articulated the broader implications of these findings within the context of contemporary patient care. He indicated, 'At Cordis, our commitment lies in evolving therapies that make a genuine impact. The innovative drug elution showcased through the SELUTION SLR™ studies illustrates a superior approach to sustained sirolimus delivery, ensuring unmatched efficacy and robust safety profiles across diverse PAD populations.'
