The US FDA has approved Esprit BTK Everolimus Eluting Resorbable Scaffold System (Esprit BTK System) intended for chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) below-the-knee (BTK)
The approval was based on the LIFE-BTK study that assessed the Esprit BTK System & depicted reduction in disease progression plus improved clinical outcomes vs balloon angioplasty (current SoC). The results were highlighted at 35th TCT Conference in Oct 2023 & published in The New England Journal of Medicine
The Esprit BTK System is a dissolvable stent that opens the blockage, transfers Everolimus & promotes vessel healing before dissolving. It supports the vessels for ~3yrs. enabling them to stay open independently
