ZoMaxx™ Drug-Eluting Coronary Stent’s First Human Clinical Trial Showed Positive Results

ZoMaxx™, Abbott’s investigational Drug-Eluting Coronary Stent System demonstrated 100% procedural success, no major adverse cardiac events and minimal late lumen loss (vessel diameter loss) in the first human clinical trial (4-month period) conducted to evaluate the safety and performance of ZoMaxx™ for the treatment of coronary artery disease.

Results of the study are encouraging because they demonstrated that controlled release of zotarolimus minimized neointimal proliferation [tissue growth inside the vessel] over the first four months following stent implantation. Abbott is looking forward to deliver its commitment to bring the new ZoMaxx™ drug-eluting stent system to market, in the hope of significantly advancing the treatment of coronary artery disease.

 

The results of the study were presented at the 2006 American College of Cardiology Scientific Session in Atlanta .
