Boston Scientific Corp. said its Eluvia Drug-Eluting Vascular Stent System exhibited superiority compared to bare metal stents.

Data presented at the Vascular InterVentional Advances meeting in Las Vegas included one-year results from the Eminent trial. The data demonstrated superiority of the Eluvia stent compared to self-expanding bare metal stents for peripheral artery disease and superficial femoral artery or popliteal artery lesions up to 210 millimeters in length.

The study enrolled 775 patients.

Shares were up 0.3%, to $42.57, in afternoon trading after being lower earlier in the session.

Boston Scientific said before the market open Wednesday it agreed to acquire Baylis Medical Company Inc. for an upfront payment of $1.75 billion.
