| TAXUS
III. In May 2002, we announced the final results from our
TAXUS III trial. TAXUS III was a single-arm registry examining the
feasibility of implanting up to two paclitaxel-eluting stents for
the treatment of in-stent restenosis. The trial enrolled 29 patients.
This group represents patients with complex vascular disease having
recurrent occlusion in a stent. The trial’s main focus was
safety, and the primary endpoint was 30-day MACE. The trial confirmed
safety and reported no stent thromboses, no deaths, and an in-stent
restenosis rate of 4 percent.
