Sustained safety and effectiveness of paclitaxel-eluting stents for femoropopliteal lesions: 2-year follow-up from the Zilver PTX randomized and single-arm clinical studies. J Am Coll Cardiol. The Zilver PTX drug-eluting stent also has a wealth of strong clinical data supporting its efficacy. In 2009, the device was the first CE mark-approved drug-eluting stent designed specifically to treat severe blockages in the superficial femoral artery.

The main objective of this article is to review the design, safety, and efficacy of the Zilver PTX stent which was engineered to outperform bare The ZEPHYR (Zilver PTX for the Femoral Artery and Proximal Popliteal Artery) registry was a prospective and multicenter study, enrolling patients who had symptomatic peripheral arterial disease due to FP lesions and were treated with Zilver PTX implantation between July 2012 and June 2014.
