The PLATINUM-PLUS trial will investigate in a broad patient and lesion population, the CE Mark approved PROMUS Element™ Everolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System (PROMUS Element), which combines the Element™ stent (the latest generation stent from Boston Scientific Corporation [BSC, Natick, Massachusetts, United States]), everolimus, and the poly (n butyl methacrylate) (PBMA) and poly (vinylidene fluoride co hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) polymers. The PROMUS Element, received CE Mark on November 3rd 2009; it is currently under investigation in the PLATINUM clinical trial, and has great promise as it combines BSC's novel stent technology with the everolimus drug and polymers that have demonstrated excellent performance in the SPIRIT clinical program.
