Shots:

  • Abbott has received Health Canada’s approval for the Esprit BTK Everolimus Eluting Resorbable Scaffold System to treat people with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) below the knee (BTK)
  • Esprit was evaluated in the LIFE-BTK trial against balloon angioplasty, which showed improved patient outcomes, with 48% fewer repeat procedures over the study period. Data was highlighted at VIVA’24
  • The Esprit BTK System is a resorbable scaffold that is implanted via a minimally invasive catheter procedure to support below-the-knee vessels after blockage clearance for ~3yrs., then gradually dissolves as the vessel heals
