ith coronary de novo lesions)
allowed to verify, in a single trial, the safety and efficacy of the two
novel drug-eluting stent formulations." He added that "Another important
point is that most previous comparative trials between Sirolimus &
Paclitaxel used stents with two different platforms and polymers." "In the
PAINT -- which used the same metal platform and coating for both active
stents -- the effects of Sirolimus and Paclitaxel could be compared in a
more direct way, since the only difference between the stents was the drug
itself," he explains.
Dr Atul Abhyankar, Medical Director- Sahajanand's Medical Technologies,
shared the enthusiasm. "The results of the PAINT trial truly add to the
interventional community learning about DESs, it clearly proves that the
biodegradable polymer used by SMT is effective and safe vehicle for DES and
seems to work efficiently irrespective of the type of drugs. Both drugs
(Paclitaxel & Sirolimus) were effective in reducing restenosis on the same
vehicle and platform. So you have a luxury of choice of drug based on your
own assessment."
Mr. Dhirajlal Kotadia, the Founder and Chairman of SMT; emphasized the
company's commitment towards further intensifying its clinical research
initiatives and continue to deliver evidence-based treatments to all
deserving patients around the world.
The Infinnium - CE mark approved, stent system utilizes paclitaxel,
which has been shown to reduce tissue proliferation in the coronary vessels
following stent implantation, and is based upon the easily deliverable,
thinnest strut (0.0032") Matrix coronary stent platform.
