Why to use it
The Clear DCB Choice
No-compromise solutions to treat Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD).
Stellarex drug-coated balloons enable physicians to use a lower therapeutic drug dose and achieve top-tier patency results. With demonstrated durability and predictability in a wide range of patients, Stellarex DCBs offer a no-compromise solution for restoring and maintaining patency in the superficial femoral and popliteal arteries in patients with peripheral arterial disease.
Characteristics
Differentiated technology -next-generation EnduraCoat
- Hybrid paclitaxel offers prompt drug transfer and sustained tissue residency through 28 day restenotic window1
- Excipient polyethylene glycol (PEG) offers excellent adhesion and durability to protect low dose paclitaxel2,3
- Reduces drug loss during transit, relieving clinicians of transit time requirements4,5

Top-tier patency and safety with the lowest effective drug dose in all SFA patients – common to complex
Common patients in EU RCT study13:
- Only low dose DCB reporting 3yr patency
Statistically significant improvement over PTA (67.5% vs. 59.9%, p=0.05)13
Complex patients in US Pivotal study13 – Stellarex effective in calcium:
- Statistically superior patency even in most complex patients studied in DCB RCT (64.2% vs. 51.0%, p=0.016)13
- Highest rate of severely calcified lesions: five times the rate of severe calcium studied in competitive trials15
- Clinically relevant difference in CD-TLR at 4 years: 28.2% Stellarex vs. 34.1% PTA (p=0.343)16
