CMS grants additional reimbursement for the Eluvia drug-eluting vascular stent system

Boston Scientific announced that the US Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) granted a new technology add-on payment (NTAP) for the Eluvia drug-eluting vascular stent system as part of the 2021 inpatient prospective payment system (IPPS).

The NTAP designation, awarded to new medical devices determined to substantially improve the diagnosis or treatment of Medicare beneficiaries, will be effective on 1 October 1 2020 and will provide eligible hospitals with incremental reimbursement for the Eluvia stent system for up to three years. The Medicare criteria for an NTAP designation is based on newness of the device, cost, and a substantial clinical improvement.

The Eluvia stent system was developed for the treatment of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). The Eluvia stent reopens the blocked artery and restores blood flow, while also utilising a drug-polymer combination to offer a sustained, low-dose release of drug to prevent tissue regrowth within the stented artery.

“The CMS determination is a very positive development for patients with PAD and supports what we have confirmed through our clinical trials—the Eluvia stent offers clinically superior outcomes compared to other peripheral drug-coated technology available to clinicians and their patients,” said Jeff Mirviss, executive vice president and president, Peripheral Interventions, Boston Scientific.

“The decision is particularly important given the level of consideration and evaluation related to the role of paclitaxel in the peripheral vasculature, and we believe this designation reflects the unique attributes of the Eluvia stent, which are clearly differentiated and improve the quality of life for the millions of people suffering from symptoms of PAD.”

The NTAP designation will support access to the Eluvia stent for Medicare beneficiaries in the hospital inpatient setting, making it possible for eligible hospitals to receive NTAP payment in addition to the standard Medicare severity diagnosis related group (MS-DRG) payment.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of the Eluvia stent system in September 2018 was based on findings from the IMPERIAL trial, which exhibited the highest 24-month primary patency reported to date for the treatment of femoropopliteal disease in a US pivotal trial with a drug-coated balloon or drug-eluting stent. Trial data confirmed a statistically significant lower clinically-driven target lesion revascularisation (TLR) rate of 12.7% for patients treated with the Eluvia stent, in contrast to 20.1% observed within the Zilver PTX drug-eluting peripheral stent cohort (p=0.0495), thus reducing the need for repeat procedures at 24 months.
