Summary

RESCUE is a Europe-wide study that will follow 400 people with critical limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). It aims to see how well Esprit BTK™ Everolimus Eluting Resorbable Scaffolds work in real-life medical settings. The study focuses on people who have heavily calcified arteries in the infrapopliteal areas of the leg.

These drug-eluting resorbable scaffolds release a medication that helps prevent the inner wall of the blood vessel from thickening after injury or surgery. This can reduce the chance of the artery becoming blocked again (a problem called restenosis), while also giving temporary structural support to the vessel. Over time, the scaffold naturally dissolves in the body, which may lower the long-term risks associated with permanent metal stents.

DEVICE

Esprit BTK™ Everolimus Eluting Resorbable Scaffold from Abbott

The Esprit BTK™ is a bioresorbable vascular scaffold designed for arteries below the knee. It provides temporary support to keep the vessel open while releasing everolimus-an antiproliferative drug that helps prevent excessive tissue growth and reduces the risk of restenosis. As the scaffold delivers the medication, it gradually dissolves, potentially lowering long-term risks associated with permanent stents.
