A clinical review of
drug-coated balloons (DCB)

The IN.PACT™ Admiral™ DCB provides unparalleled effectiveness and safety, with 75% of patients re-intervention free at five years.1

Overview

Data comes from different individual studies and may differ in a head-to-head comparison, and therefore may not be predictive of clinical results.

Highest patency benefit versus PTA

When comparing long-term durability of DCBs to PTA, IN.PACT Admiral has the highest patency benefit and sustained delta through three years.

Patency rates from clinical trials may be calculated differently. Chart is for illustrative purposes only and results may differ in head-to-head comparison, and therefore may not be predictive of clinical results.

‡

Primary patency is defined as freedom from CEC-adjudicated clinically driven TLR and from core lab-adjudicated binary restenosis. Patency per Kaplan-Meier estimates at 12 months (day 365).

§

Primary patency based on intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis. Primary patency is defined as freedom from clinically driven target lesion revascularization and freedom from restenosis as determined by duplex ultrasound-derived PSVR ≤ 2.4. Indication statement for IN.PACT Admiral (Japan): This device, IN.PACT Admiral Drug Coated Balloon Catheter, is indicated for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of de novo and non-stented restenotic lesions with length ≤ 200 mm in superficial femoral and popliteal arteries with reference vessel diameters of ≥ 4 mm and ≤ 7 mm.

||

Primary patency based on intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis. Primary patency per Kaplan-Meier estimate is not available. Primary patency is defined as the absence of binary restenosis (as adjudicated by a blinded core lab) and freedom from target lesion revascularization. Indication statement for Lutonix (Japan): This device, Lutonix Drug-Coated Balloon Catheter, is indicated for treatment of de novo or restenotic lesion with a reference vessel diameter ≥ 4 mm and ≤ 6 mm and a length ≤ 15 cm in the native femoropopliteal artery (excluding in-stent lesion) to improve luminal diameter and to reduce restenosis.
