RESUMO
PURPOSE: Clinical trials have demonstrated that high-dose drug-coated balloon (HD-DCB) and polymer-based drug-eluting stent (PB-DES) treatments for femoropopliteal (FP) artery disease have favorable outcomes. However, which one would be better remained unrevealed. METHODS: This study used the databases of 2 large-scale multicenter prospective drug-coated balloon (DCB) and drug-eluting stent (DES) registries. The study included 2470 patients with symptomatic FP lesion treated with IN.PACT Admiral DCB or Eluvia DES at 69 centers. A propensity-score-based paired analysis was conducted. Primary endpoint was 1-year restenosis rate. Secondary endpoints were 1-year reocclusion rate, target lesion revascularization (TLR), acute thrombosis, bypass conversion, major amputation, major adverse limb event (MALE), and all-cause death. RESULTS: A total of 1535 patients were treated with HD-DCB, and 935 patients were treated with PB-DES. The propensity-score matching extracted 678 pairs, with no remarkable intergroup difference in baseline characteristics. The 1-year restenosis rate was significantly lower in the PB-DES group than in the HD-DCB group (16.0% vs 22.0%, p=0.016). The other endpoints (reocclusion rate, TLR, acute thrombosis, bypass conversion, major amputation, MALE, and all-cause death) did not differ between the groups. No baseline characteristics had any significant interaction effect on the association of HD-DCB vs PB-DES with restenosis risk (all p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that the 1-year TLR, reocclusion rate, and other endpoints did not differ between the PB-DES group and the HD-DCB group despite the lower restenosis in the PB-DES group. CLINICAL IMPACT: One-year restenosis rate was significantly lower in the polymer-based DES group than in the high-dose DCB group for foemoropopliteal disease. However, there is no difference in the other endpoints between two groups.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Although the 1-year clinical outcomes of fluoropolymer-based drug-eluting stents (FP-DES) were favorable for the treatment of real-world femoropopliteal lesions in symptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD), their performance beyond 1 year remained unknown. The current study determined the 3-year clinical course of FP-DES implantation for real-world femoropopliteal lesions. METHODS: This multicenter, prospective, observational study evaluated 1204 limbs (chronic limb-threatening ischemia, 34.8%; mean lesion length, 18.6 ± 9.9 cm, chronic total occlusion: 53.2%) of 1097 patients with PAD (age, 75 ± 9 years; diabetes mellitus, 60.8%) undergoing FP-DES implantation for femoropopliteal lesions. The primary outcome measure was 3-year restenosis. The secondary outcome measures included 3-year occlusive restenosis, stent thrombosis, target lesion revascularization (TLR), and aneurysmal degeneration. RESULTS: The 3-year cumulative occurrence of restenosis was 27.3%, whereas that of occlusive restenosis, stent thrombosis, and TLR was 16.1%, 7.3%, and 19.6%, respectively. The annual occurrence of restenosis decreased by 12.0%, 9.5%, and 5.8% in the first, second, and third year, respectively (p < 0.001). Similarly, the rates of occlusive restenosis and stent thrombosis decreased (p < 0.001 and p = 0.007, respectively), whereas the rate of TLR remained unchanged for 3 years (p = 0.15). The incidence of aneurysmal degeneration at 3 years (15.7%) did not significantly differ from that at 1 and 2 years (p = 0.69 and 0.20, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights the favorable long-term clinical course of FP-DES in real-world practice, emphasizing the importance of monitoring for occlusive restenosis and stent thrombosis while considering the potential onset of aneurysmal degeneration.

BACKGROUND: Whether intraluminal drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty is superior to subintimal DCB angioplasty regarding femoropopliteal (FP) chronic total occlusion (CTO) outcomes has not been systematically determined. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare the 1-year clinical outcomes of intraluminal and subintimal DCB angioplasty for the treatment of patients with symptomatic FP CTO. METHODS: This subanalysis of POPCORN (Prospective Multi-Center Registry of Drug-Coated Balloon for Femoropopliteal Disease) evaluated 469 lesions in 469 symptomatic patients with lower extremity artery disease who presented with FP CTO and underwent DCB treatment. Wire passage (intraluminal vs subintimal) was evaluated using intravascular ultrasound. The outcome measure, 1-year freedom from restenosis, was compared between subintimal and intraluminal DCB angioplasty groups after propensity score matching analysis. The Institutional Review Boards of participating centers approved this study. Informed consent was obtained from the participants or their families. RESULTS: During the median follow-up period of 14.2 months, restenosis occurred in 140 patients. After propensity score matching, the subintimal group had a significantly lower 1-year rate of freedom from restenosis than the intraluminal group (77.0% vs 84.2%, respectively; P = 0.024). Interaction analysis revealed a more marked increased risk for restenosis in the subintimal DCB angioplasty group in patients with severe calcification, low-dose DCB use, or smoking. CONCLUSIONS: The present study revealed that intraluminal DCB angioplasty was superior to subintimal DCB angioplasty for FP CTO treatment, with a significantly better 1-year rate of freedom from restenosis.

Aim: Use long-term follow-up data from the IMPERIAL study to determine whether drug-eluting polymer-based nitinol stent treatment can delay the time to repeat intervention for femoropopliteal artery disease and how such a delay may result in cost savings in a value-based episode of care. Patients & methods: The IMPERIAL randomized controlled trial was an international study of a paclitaxel-eluting polymer-coated stent (Eluvia, Boston Scientific, MA, USA) versus a polymer-free paclitaxel-coated stent (Zilver PTX, Cook Corporation, IN, USA) for treating lesions of the femoropopliteal arterial segment. Study patients (n = 465) had symptomatic lower limb ischemia. Safety and efficacy assessments were performed through 5 years. Mean time to first reintervention was calculated in post-hoc analysis for patients who underwent a clinically driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR) through 3 or 5 years following the index procedure. To simulate potential cost savings associated with differential CD-TLR burden over time, a cost-avoidance analysis using input parameters from IMPERIAL and US 100% Medicare standard analytical files was developed. Results: Among patients with a first CD-TLR through 3 years of follow-up, mean time to reintervention was 5.5 months longer (difference 166 days, 95% CI: 51, 282 days; p = 0.0058) for patients treated with Eluvia (n = 56) than for those treated with Zilver PTX (n = 30). Through the 5-year study follow-up period, CD-TLR rates were 29.3% (68/232) for Eluvia and 34.2% (39/114) for Zilver PTX (p = 0.3540) and mean time to first reintervention exceeded 2 years for patients treated with Eluvia at 737 days versus 645 days for the Zilver PTX group (difference 92 days, 95% CI: -85, 269 days; p = 0.3099). Simulated savings considering reinterventions occurring over 1 and 5 years following initial use of Eluvia over Zilver PTX were US $1,395,635 and US $1,531,795, respectively, when IMPERIAL CD-TLR rates were extrapolated to 1000 patients. Conclusion: IMPERIAL data suggest initial treatment with Eluvia extends the time patients spend without undergoing reintervention. This extension may be associated with cost savings in relevant time frames.

BACKGROUND: Sirolimus-coated balloons (SCB) for the treatment of femoropopliteal (FP) lesions have not been systematically studied, but initial outcomes from early studies are promising. OBJECTIVES: The authors sought to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the SELUTION SLR SCB, composed of proprietary microreservoir technology combining sirolimus and biodegradable polymer, when used to treat mild-to-moderate FP disease in a Japanese population. METHODS: This multicenter, prospective, single-arm study (SELUTION SFA JAPAN) enrolled 134 patients with FP disease. It was independently adjudicated by an imaging core laboratory and clinical events committee. The primary endpoint was 12-month primary patency, defined as peak systolic velocity ratio ≥2.5 by duplex ultrasound and compared against a prespecified performance goal of 60% based on established angioplasty data. RESULTS: The mean age was 73.8 ± 6.9 years, and 60.3% of patients had diabetes mellitus. The mean lesion length was 127.4 ± 59.7 mm, 17.2% were chronic total occlusions, and 47.8% involved the popliteal artery. Data on 12-month restenosis were available in 127 patients (94.8%). The 12-month primary patency rate was 87.9%, and the freedom from clinically driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR) was 97.0% per Kaplan-Meier estimate. The major adverse event rate was 6.7%, driven by 4 CD-TLRs and 5 deaths, none of which were related to the device or procedure. Ankle-brachial index data improved significantly from 0.73 ± 0.16 at baseline to 0.96 ± 0.14 at 30 days postprocedure and was sustained through 12 months (0.94 ± 0.13). CONCLUSIONS: The SELUTION SFA JAPAN trial demonstrated that a novel SELUTION SCB is a safe and effective treatment option for FP disease in symptomatic patients.

PURPOSE: In the present trial, the 24-month safety and effectiveness of the TCD-17187 drug-coated balloon (DCB) for the treatment of atherosclerotic lesions in the superficial femoral artery (SFA) and proximal popliteal artery (PA) were evaluated in Japanese patients. METHODS: This was a prospective, multicenter, core laboratory-adjudicated, single-arm trial. From 2019 to 2020, 121 patients with symptomatic peripheral artery disease were enrolled. The primary effectiveness outcome measure was primary patency. The safety outcome measure was the major adverse event (MAE) rate. RESULTS: Age was 74.5 ± 7.3 years, and diabetes mellitus was present in 67.5%. Lesion length and reference vessel diameter (RVD) were 106.0 ± 52.6 mm and 5.2 ± 0.8 mm, respectively. Chronic total occlusion (CTO) and bilateral calcification rate (Grade 3 and 4 by peripheral arterial calcium scoring system (PACSS)) were 17.5% and 50.8%, respectively. The 24-month primary patency rate by duplex ultrasound was 71.3%, while freedom from clinically driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR) was 87.0%. The MAE rate was 13.2% and all events consisted of CD-TLR. There were no instances of device- or procedure-related deaths major amputations throughout the 24 months. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis revealed significant differences associated with loss of primary patency in the following characteristics: CTO, restenotic lesion and RVD. CONCLUSION: This trial confirmed the safety and effectiveness of TCD-17187 DCB for atherosclerotic lesions of the SFA and/or proximal PA for up to 24 months. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 3, Cohort study.
