Is Zilver PTX DES the De Facto IMPLANT to Deploy? Lecture Goals: Acknowledge the importance of well-designed RCTs/adjudicated registries in specific angiographic cohorts (i.e., long lesions, severely calcified). Consider the importance of long-term clinical data to assess clinical utility of technologies. Review recently released data from the REAL PTX RCT of Zilver PTX DES vs. DCB
VIVA SFA Nitinol Stent Meta-Analysis: Limitations/Caveats Exploratory analyses of published data full pre-specification not possible since trials well-known and published Variation in definitions Adds variability but may enhance generalizability of lesion length and ABI findings However, large sample size helps to offset variability concern Sample size constrained by available data (n=999) Rocha-Singh et al, Cath Cardiovasc Interv, In Press

Drug-Eluting Technologies: How Do We Target Their Appropriate Use? 3-Yr adjudicated follow-up data in TASC II A-B lesions (mean lesion length 9.5cm, calcium-free) note a 83.5% freedom from CD-TLR rate However, in longer (≥15 cm), calcified lesions (72%) provisional BMS use is required 40% to maintain a 1-yr freedom from CD-TLR of 94% Adjunct use of ‘vessel prep’ devices to reduce provisional stent rates and improve DCB results have be hypothesized.

Device success: successful delivery, inflation, deflation and retrieval of the intact study balloon device without burst below the RBP Procedure success: residual stenosis of ≤ 50% (non-stented subjects) or ≤ 30% (stented subjects) by core lab (if core lab was not available then the site reported estimate was used) Clinical success: procedural success without procedural complications (death, major target limb amputation, thrombosis of the target lesion, or TVR) prior to discharge M.

Fem-Pop Stenting: Is ZILVER PTX DES The “De Facto” Stent to Deploy? REAL PTX randomized controlled pilot trial results illustrates several points: --- All RCTs are not created equal --- “Vessel prep” and uniform deployments techniques both DCBs and Zilver PTX are essential --- Additional analysis of the ‘mode of failure’ should provide additional insights --- Cost considerations in technology choice must be assessed in future trials
