  1. Angiomax (bivalirudin) in Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD)

  2. Anticoagulation in PVD • Thrombus occurs in 100% of peripheral percutaneous intervention (PPI) cases • Bleeding risks are greater in PPI than PCI • PPI and PCI are different • PPI requires superior anticoagulation

  3. Clinical Differences in PVD vs. PCI • Longer length diseased vessel • Larger sheath size requirement • Longer PTA/stented segments • Larger acute and chronic thrombus burden • Longer procedural times (sheath dwell times) • Multiple catheter, guidewire, devices, etc exchanges (oftentimes crossover techniques)

  4. Clinical Differences in PVD vs. PCI (con’t) • “Low flow” state in peripheral versus coronary flow beds • Increased incidence of CRF (renal insufficiency) • Postprocedural anticoagulation (infrainguinal, limb salvage, ALI, etc.) • PVD- > 50-60% Diabetes: PCI- 20-30% Diabetes • PVD patients are hypercoaguable

  5. Peripheral interventions • Percutaneous peripheral interventions (PPI) require predictable and reliable anticoagulation that also minimizes risk of bleeding • Large sheaths • Renal dysfunction • Long interventions • Strategies needed to improve throughput • Reduce time to sheath removal • Reduce time to ambulation • Heparin is typically used in PPI, but no data exist on the optimal level of anticoagulation • The limitations of heparin persist in PPI…

  6. Bivalirudin in peripheral interventions • Bivalirudin: a thrombin-specific anticoagulant, superior efficacy, significantly less bleeding vs heparin in PTCA1 • Bivalirudin used in PPI registries: St Joseph’s, Naples Endovascular, Cardiovascular Institute of the South, Cardiovascular Research Foundation/Lenox Hill • Based on these limited data, bivalirudin may be an attractive alternative to heparin in peripheral interventions • May offer decreased vascular complications, earlier sheath removal time, earlier ambulation and decreased length of stay • Further studies are warranted 1Bittl et al AJC 2001

  22. Bivalirudin as Anticoagulant Foundation in PVD: A Safety and Feasibility Study in Renal and Iliac PTA • No thrombotic events, intracranial bleeding, or major surgical complications occurred in bivalirudin group • Sheath removal time, time to ambulation and length of stay were reduced compared to historical control • 6 month repeat PPI: • Renal 7/180 (3.9%) bivalirudin 8/180 (5%) UFH • Iliac and 3/75 (4%) bivalirudin 4/75 (5.3%) UFH Allie, ACC 2003

  23. Direct Thrombin Inhibition in PVD • Principal Investigators: • David Allie MD Cardiovascular Institute of the South • Patrick Hall MD South Carolina Heart Center

  24. Study Objective and Design • To demonstrate that Angiomax can safely replace unfractionated heparin as the primary anticoagulant in patients undergoing peripheral interventions, including outpatient interventions (<23hour) • Open label trial of Angiomax anticoagulation in renal, femoral, and Iliac lesions • 505 patients • 26 sites

  25. Study Drug Administration • Angiomax 0.75 mg/kg IV bolus + 1.75 mg/kg-hr IV infusion for duration of procedure • GP IIb/IIIa’s at physician discretion • Bivalirudin post-procedural infusion 0.25 mg/kg/hr at physician discretion

  26. Endpoints • Primary: Procedural success defined as ≤ 20% residual stenosis as determined by the treating physician. • Secondary: · Activated clotting times (ACTs) · Health economics (sheath size, time to sheath removal, time to ambulation, time to discharge, use of closure devices) ·  Death ·  Bleeding ·  Myocardial infarction (MI) ·  Unplanned revasc or surgical intervention for ischemia ·  Amputation ·  Renal function (relation to ischemic and bleeding outcomes).

  27. Primary lesion/vessel • Renal n/N (%) 173/505 (34.3) • Iliac n/N (%) 140/505 (27.7) • Femoral n/N (%) 184/505 (36.4) • Other n/N (%) 8/505 (1.6)

  28. Procedural characteristics • Clopidogrel pretreatment 95% • Aspirin 96.8% • GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors 4.4% • Procedural success 95%

  29. Patient demographics

  30. Ischemic outcomes: 30 days * New Q-wave >0.04 sec duration in 2 or more contiguous leads

  31. Hemorrhagic outcomes: 30 days

  32. Summary: APPROVE 30-day outcomes • Bivalirudin, as the sole procedural anticoagulant, provided similar outcomes in all vessel types treated • Consistent anticoagulation at the dose tested • Major & minor hemorrhagic complications were low • Times to sheath removal, ambulation, and discharge were favorable and appear to increase the potential for same-day discharge without compromising efficacy or safety
