Cordis Launches 10,000-Patient Global Coronary Registry for SELUTION SLR™ Drug-Eluting Balloon

Initiating one of the largest coronary drug-eluting balloon registries driving evidence-based practice

MIAMI LAKES, Fla., May 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cordis, a global leader in interventional cardiovascular technologies, today announced the initiation of the SELUTION Global Coronary Registry. The prospective study will enroll up to 10,000 patients worldwide and will be one of the largest coronary drug-eluting balloon registries to date. The registry will track real-world outcomes of SELUTION SLR™ Drug-Eluting Balloon (DEB) for up to five years and will complement the results from the on-going randomized trials.

Expanding Evidence, Enhancing Clinical Impact

SELUTION SLR™ DEB has demonstrated consistent evidence of effectiveness from pre-clinical studies showing sustained Sirolimus in tissue through 90 days, to proof-of-concept clinical evaluation demonstrating favorable late lumen loss measurements. The SELUTION Global Coronary Registry builds upon the five ongoing Level-1 randomized trials and the recently reported positive peripheral experience which showed extremely competitive and durable results, underscoring Cordis' dedication to developing meaningful clinical evidence to change the standard of care.

"Drug-eluting balloons are one of the most interesting and exciting new technologies in the coronary interventional space," said Dr. Ajay J. Kirtane, Professor of Medicine at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and Director of the Columbia Interventional Cardiovascular Care Program. "The creation and initiation of this large real-world registry examining DEB utilization and the practice of PCI with this technology is a welcome development, which will help clinicians better understand where SELUTION SLR™ DEB can deliver the greatest benefits and improved outcomes in their practice."
