Translumina Yukon -Model Chrome PC -Sirolimus Eluting CoCr Coronary Stent System
The Translumina Yukon drug-eluting stent product family, coated with Rapamycin (Sirolimus) and the biodegradable component polylactide (PLA), has an excellent history of pre-clinical and long-term clinical results.
The Yukon Chrome PC has the identical coating technique and coating properties (dosage, thickness) like the clinically proven Yukon Choice PC. In two independent trials ISAR-TEST 3 and ISAR-TEST 4 the Yukon DES platform showed improved longterm performance compared to 1st. Generation DES over a time period of 10 years clinical follow-up in the randomized controlled clinical trial.
Clinical data, published by G. Stefanini et al, show the excellent long-term outcome of the Yukon Choice PC in a meta-analysis, comparing the clinical outcome after 4 years in more than 4000 patients with the Cypher stent. This analysis shows for the first time that the definite Very Late Stent Thrombosis (VLST) can be reduced statistically significant by using the biodegradable PLA polymer coating technology of the Yukon DES. An additional sub-group analysis shows also benefit in difficult patient groups like diabetics and patients with acute myocardial infarct.
Due to this excellent clinical outcome the Yukon DES technology is recommended by the latest ESC guidelines for myocardial revascularization. Yukon Chrome PC now transfers this unique technology to the latest Translumina CoCr-stent platform featuring thin struts and a highly flexible 2-Connector stent design.
