What This Trial Is Studying

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…
