Vascular Response to Zotarolimus-Coated Balloons in Injured Superficial Femoral Arteries of the Familial Hypercholesterolemic Swine

Abstract

The single delivery of zotarolimus via coated balloon is feasible, and therapeutic levels are maintained up to 28 days. The ZCB technology appears to be effective in the reduction of neointimal proliferation in the superficial femoral artery of the familial hypercholesterolemic swine.
