Explore the use of a drug-eluting balloon catheter for the treatment of stenoses in small coronary arteries and restenoses after stent deployment.
E N D
Problem The treatment of stenoses of small coronary arteries (SVD) and of restenoses after stent deployment (ISR) still show unsatisfactory long-term results even after drug-eluting stent deployment Likely Solution Using a drug-eluting balloon catheter (B.Braun Melsungen AG, Germany)
Paclitaxel-eluting stent (DES) vs. Paclitaxel-eluting balloon (DEB) DES Hwang, Circulation 2001; 104: 600-5 Paccocath Scheller, Heart 2007; 2007;93:539-41
The Paclitaxel-Eluting PTCA-Balloon Catheter in Coronary Artery Disease PEPCAD I-SVD PEPCAD II-ISR Martin Unverdorben Clinical Research Institute, Center for Cardiovascular Diseases Rotenburg an der Fulda, Germany On behalf of the PEPCAD Investigators
Primary Variable • 6-month late lumen loss Secondary Variables • Procedural success (≤30% stenosis) • 6-month binary restenosis rate • 6-month MACE • MACE at 1 and 3 years
Outcome Comparison *Stone, G JAMA 2005;294:1215-23
Summary PEPCAD I • The paclitaxel-eluting balloon catheter Sequent Please (B.Braun Melsungen AG) … • was safe and associated with a high procedural success rate in de-novo lesions • exhibited low late lumen loss after 6 months in SVD • patients treated w/o additional stenting demonstrated a restenosis rate of 5.5%
Primary Variable • 6-month late lumen loss Secondary Variables • Procedural success (≤30% stenosis) • 6-month binary restenosis rate • 6-month MACE • MACE at 1 and 3 years
As-Treated Groups Enrolled 131 Subj. Conventional balloon 1 Subj. Violator from DES
Outcome (N=126) 2 NSTEMI side branch occlusion 4 non-cardiac death 1 1 protocol violators excluded 3cardiac, not lesion related
Event Free Survival (ITT/As Treated) p=0.07 ITT p=0.007 As Treated Months post PCI
Summary PEPCAD II • The paclitaxel-eluting balloon catheter Sequent Please (B.Braun Melsungen AG) … • was safe and associated with a high procedural success rate in ISR • exhibited low late lumen loss after 6 months in ISR • was superior to the paclitaxel-eluting Taxus stent in ISR after 6 months • has not been associated with late thrombosis in 200 patient years in SVD and ISR
