Everolimus Eluting Resorbable Scaffold

Esprit BTK

Take a Stand Against CLTI for Your Patients

Choose the new standard of care for BTK treatment that delivers superior results without compromising safety.


Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia (CLTI) is a severe form of peripheral artery disease (PAD) that can lead to amputation and increased mortality/cardiovascular events.1  Now, Abbott's Esprit™ BTK System offers a breakthrough innovation for you and your patients as the first-and-only FDA-approved drug-eluting resorbable scaffold for CLTI. With reduced restenosis and reinterventions,3,6,7 and significant improvement in primary patency and limb salvage,3,6 you can be confident you're giving your patients the state-of-the-art standard of care.

Deliver superior results for your patients without compromising their safety

"The durability of this result has never been demonstrated with any BTK technology previously."

-Sahil Parikh, MD, New York-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center

48% Fewer Patients Require Reintervention6,7

  • Esprit™ BTK System patients have 48% fewer reinterventions vs. PTA at 2 years (9.7% vs 18.6%)
  • 90.3% of Esprit™ BTK patients did not require a reintervention through 2 years
Fewer patients require reintervention

Superior Efficacy, Sustained Benefits through 2 Years3,6

  • 31% improvement (74.5% vs. 43.7%) in limb salvage and primary patency at 1 year, with sustained benefits through 2 years
  • Demonstrated to be as safe as PTA through 2 years in the LIFE-BTK study
Superior efficacy sustained through 2 years

Proven Primary Treatment6

  • Addresses vessel recoil and dissection4, with radial strength similar to a metallic stent within the first 6 months8
  • Inhibits restenosis and maximizes patency through sustained everolimus elution5
  • Preserves flexibility for the future with complete resorption9
Proven primary treatment
BTK technology

The LIFE-BTK Study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, is the first successful RCT to demonstrate superiority of an interventional device over standard of care for treatment of BTK disease in CLTI patients. The 2-year data demonstrated sustained efficacy and safety.3,6

Take BTK Treatment in Stride with State-of-the-Art Care

Watch how the Esprit™ BTK System does it all for CLTI: addressing vessel recoil and dissection,combined with a drug to inhibit neointimal hyperplasia,5 and then fully resorbs over time,preserving future treatment options.

Case Studies: A Giant Step Forward in BTK Treatment

Physicians share their experience with the Esprit™ BTK System and the advantages it delivers in treating their patients and improving outcomes.

Esprit BTK is a new paradigm for limb salvage intervention, creating opportunities for sustained patency and increased pedal perfusion pressure to heal the wound after the first intervention. - Matthew C. Bunte, MD., MS
Esprit BTK is fundamentally changing how I treat my patients with tibial disease - finally  we have a tool that offers our patients hope and substantially better outcomes. - J.D. Corl, MD
