What was approved and why it matters
Cordis' Selution SLR is a balloon that releases sirolimus into the artery wall for up to 90 days, treating narrowing inside an existing stent without leaving another implant behind. It is the first sirolimus-eluting balloon approved in the US and the second coronary drug-coated balloon, after Boston Scientific's Agent.
Frequently asked questions
When was Selution SLR approved?
Cordis announced FDA premarket approval of Selution SLR for coronary in-stent restenosis on 21 September 2026.
What are Selution SLR's projected sales?
Zaash Labs' base case is about USD 68 million of US revenue in 2031 from in-stent restenosis alone. Approval in small de novo vessels could lift that toward USD 145 million.
How does Selution SLR compare with Agent?
Agent, a paclitaxel coated balloon from Boston Scientific, was approved for in-stent restenosis in March 2024 and already has dedicated Medicare payments. Selution uses sirolimus and was non-inferior to standard care, mostly drug-eluting stents, in SELUTION4ISR.
