Clinical Evidence

IN.PACT™ Admiral drug-coated balloon

A clinical review of the IN.PACT™ Admiral™ drug-coated balloon (DCB) and competitive DCBs available on the market

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

IN.PACT™ Admiral™ has demonstrated:

Highest patency benefit versus PTA
Consistency in outcomes
Extensive clinical evidence

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.
