XIENCE™ Family of Drug-Eluting Stents

The World's Leading Drug-Eluting Stents (DES), with Unparalleled Clinical Outcomes¹

 XIENCE™ Family of Drug-Eluting Stents

Optimal Deliverability with XIENCE Skypoint™ Stent

The latest design elements, plus proven ability to deliver with previous generations of XIENCE™ Stents, provide optimal deliverability for interventional cardiologists (ICs) encountering challenging lesions.

 Optimal Deliverability

Catheter Enhancements

Unlike prior generations of XIENCE™ Stent, XIENCE Skypoint™ Stent has a seamless one-piece catheter shaft that optimises pushability.2 In addition, the guide wire notch profile is reduced by 0.001”.3

Optimal Deliverability

Data reveal optimal deliverability with XIENCE Skypoint™ Stent. This compares favorably with XIENCE Sierra™ Stent.4

Deliverability with XIENCE Skypoint Stent is 11% higher compared to XIENCE Sierra Stent.

Better Stent Retention

High stent retention helps prevent dislodgement and help ensure safe crossing, even when treating complex lesions. Testing reveals that XIENCE Skypoint™ Stent retention rates are better than those of Synergy and Resolute Onyx DES, reaching statistical significance.5

XIENCE Skypoint Stent performs better in stent retention tests compared to Synergy and Resolute Onyx drug-eluting stents.

Lower Crossing Forces with XIENCE Skypoint™ Stent6

Lower crossing forces can also aid in optimising stent deliverability. Note that XIENCE Skypoint™ Stent crossing forces are significantly lower than those of Synergy and Resolute Onyx DES.

The crossing forces with XIENCE Skypoint Stent are significantly lower compared to Synergy and Resolute Onyx DES.

When using the XIENCE Skypoint™ 48 mm Stent, the hypotube has a 33% increase in wall thickness.7

The crossing forces with XIENCE Skypoint Stent are significantly lower compared to Synergy and Resolute Onyx DES.

Optimal Push Efficiency with XIENCE Skypoint™ Stent8

Testing confirms better push efficiency, revealing a 5% improvement for XIENCE Skypoint™ Stent compared to XIENCE Xpedition™ Stent.
