Medtronic received a journal article titled 'efficacy of a drug-eluting stent versus bare metal stents for symptomatic femoropopliteal peripheral artery disease: primary results of the eminent randomized trial'.It reports on a prospective, randomized, controlled, multicenter european study with blinded participants and outcome assessment.Pa tients with symptomatic peripheral artery disease of the native superficial femoral artery or proximal popliteal artery with stenosis =70%, vessel diameter of 4 to 6 mm, and total lesion length of 30 to 210 mm were randomly assigned 2:1 to treatment with des or bms.A total of 775 patients were randomly assigned to treatment with des (n=508) or commercially available bmss (n=267).The interventional device was a non-medtronic des.Control devices were bmss, specifically self-expanding bare nitinol stents commercially available in europe that were indicated for improving luminal diameter for the treatment of de novo or restenotic symptomatic lesions in native vascular disease of above-the-knee femoropopliteal arteries.Permitted stents were complete se vascular stent (12/294), everflex peripheral self-expanding stent (46/294) and other non-medtronic stents.12-month efficacy and safety data reported 165/222 patients with primary patency, 0 cases of target major limb amputation and 28/263 patients with tlr in the bms group.
