Eurocor presented the first nine months? data from the Argentinean Registry of the DIOR® balloon in diabetic patients, called DEAR Registry, at one of the leading cardiovascular congresses worldwide, EuroPCR in Paris. The aim of the registry is to assess major clinical events when a paclitaxel-eluting balloon (DIOR®) and a stent are used to treat coronary lesions in a diabetic population. The outcome in this challenging group of patients is a very low single digit TLR rate of

6.6 per cent.

Eurocor also announced the 12 months outcome of the Spanish Multicenter Registry that enrolled

250 patients in 10 Spanish centers. The study was conducted to investigate the outcome after

DIOR® drug-eluting balloon (DEB) was used for the treatment of in-stent restenosis (ISR) lesions. The study proved that the treatment of coronary in-stent restenosis with the paclitaxel-eluting balloon DIOR® provides good immediate and midterm outcomes.

Eurocor launched the new DIOROCT trial, a prospective, multicentre, randomized trial which will include up to 100 patients with stable angina pectoris and 1 de novo lesion in a native coronary artery. The three arm trial is comparing the OCT outcome at four months on Eurocor´s 2nd Generation Drug-Eluting Balloon (DEB) DIOR® vs. Bare Metal Stent (BMS) + DEB vs. BMS.

Eurocor?s partner, Micell Technologies, presented positive preclinical data for the Mi S tent? Drug Eluting Coronary Stent System, at the EuroPCR in Paris, in a presentation titled:"MiStent DES: A Novel Third Generation DES with a Fully-absorbable Coating and Enhanced Drug Delivery Capabilities."
