In peripheral artery disease, DCB therapy has proven superior to balloon angioplasty for treatment of de novo femoropopliteal and below-the-knee disease.

The Excipient

The excipient is a crucial part of a drug-eluting balloon, as it may have a direct effect on the drug uptake. The rationale behind a higher drug uptake lies in the effect of the excipient.

Another benefit of excipients may be the smooth dispersion of the drug in the excipient matrix increasing the uptake

Why Butyryl-tri-hexyl citrate (BTHC) coating?

  • Proven Track record
  • Keeps Paclitaxel in microcrystalline structure
  • Degrades to Citric acid and alcohol and metabolized rapidly.
  • BTHC coating is less soluble than hydrophilic alternatives resulting in more bio-availability of the drug
