Discover our detailed EMINENT Trial Results
EMINENT RCT 1-Year Primary Patency Results1
Eluvia demonstrated superiority over BMS1 with a statistically significant primary patency of 85.4% versus 76.3% and a statistically significant greater rate of sustained clinical improvement without reintervention through 1 year.
EMINENT RCT 1-Year Primary Patency Results
Eluvia demonstrated sustained clinical improvement
**Log rand p-value compares the entire K-M curves from time point zero to day 390 (full 1-Year follow-up window)
EMINENT 1 year subgroup analysis
It demonstrated consistant primary patency benefit over BMS through 1 year across subgroups.
EMINENT Trial Overview

Objective
Evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Boston Scientific Corporation ELUVIA™ Drug-Eluting Vascular Stent System for treating Superficial Femoral Artery (SFA) and/or Proximal Popliteal Artery (PPA) lesions up to 140 mm in length.
EMINENT Trial Design
- 2:1 randomised
- Single-blind
- Superiority trial
- Patients: N=775 | Eluvia N=508 vs BMS N=267
- Primary Endpoint: 12-month primary patency
- Investigational centers: 58 study centers in 10 European countries
Baseline Characteristics


EMINENT Trial: Global RCT, Superiority trial. Eluvia™ Drug-Eluting Stent vs EU Nitinol self (expanding nitinol stent. 12-Month Primary Patency rate of 83.2% in the Eluvia™ arm vs. 74.3% in the BMS arm (p-value = 0.0077)
* IMPERIAL Trial: Global RCT, Eluvia™ DES vs Cook Medical’s Zilver™ PTX™ Stent. Superiority determined in a post hoc analysis. 12-Month Primary Patency rate of 86.8% in the Eluvia arm vs. 77.5% in the Zilver PTX arm (p-value = 0.0144).
EMINENT Trial: Global RCT, Superiority trial. Eluvia™ Drug-Eluting Stent vs EU Nitinol self (expanding nitinol stent. 12-Month Primary Patency rate of 83.2% in the Eluvia™ arm vs. 74.3% in the BMS arm (p-value = 0.0077)
**Log-rank p-value compares the entire K-M curves from time point zero to day 390 (full 1-year follow-up window)
***In EMINENT, primary sustained clinical improvement was defined as an improvement (decrease) by at least 1 Rutherford category, without TLR.
