Superior SFA Results:
The Zilver PTX Randomized Trial is being conducted at 55 sites in the United States, Japan and Germany. This controlled trial focuses on moderate-length lesions to meet FDA requirements.
The Zilver PTX Single-Arm Trial is being conducted at 30 sites in Europe, Canada and Korea. This trial had much broader inclusion criteria than the randomized, controlled trial and thus includes a variety of “real-world” lesions.
Together, these complementary studies aim to provide a comprehensive assessment of Zilver PTX.
