Local Vascular Drug Delivery Drug Eluting Stents Drug Coated Balloons Catheter-directed fluid delivery Snowmass 2014
“This will certainly be a major area of continuous discussion throughout the course. Clearly with the evolution of drug-eluting balloon technology and all the related endovascular techniques, it’s a really important concept that we try to bring into practice.” ‘Leaving nothing behind’ marks a new mantra for intervention Dierk Scheinert (Park Hospital and Heart Center, Leipzig, Germany) in LINC TODAY Jan.24, 2013 Snowmass 2014

A single TAPAS Catheter delivered paclitaxel to 3 discrete segments of the left superficial femoral artery following atherectomy. Paclitaxel was mixed with a 50% solution of contrast media and saline to a final drug concentration of 3mg/ml. Drug dwell time at each segment was 1 minute. After each infusion, the paclitaxel was aspirated from the vessel. Images courtesy of Dr. Luigi Steffanon, Hesperia Hospital, Modena, Italy.

Future Directions Renu Virmani (CVPath Institute, Gaithersburg, Maryland) in LINC TODAY Jan.24, 2013 “I don’t think there’s going to be one perfect solution for everyone because it just never works that way. We are quite different from one another, so we all need different kinds of treatments, and I think that’s what’s going to continue.” Snowmass 2014
Future Directions with Local (Fluid) Drug Delivery Targeted Rx selection and dosing -Patient/subset specific; DM, ISR, “frequent fliers” New drugs and applications -TAPAS as a tool to facilitate investigation; can study just the drug Drug combos Snowmass 2014
Cilostazol + Paclitaxel Comparison of Dual Drug-Eluting Cilotax Stent and Paclitaxel-Eluting Taxus Liberte Stent in Native Coronary Artery Lesions; Whan Lee C, Park DW, Seung KB, Kim PJ, Park HJ, Kim WJ, Lee JY, Kang SJ, Lee SH, Kim YH, Park SW, Park SJ; American Journal of Cardiology (Feb 2011) “…..In-stent late loss was significantly lower in the Cilotax than in the Taxus Liberte group (0.22 ± 0.31 vs 0.50 ± 0.55 mm, p = 0.002). Although in- segment restenosis rate did not differ significantly between the 2 groups (3.8% vs 10.9%, respectively, p = 0.271), in-stent restenosis rate was significantly lower in the Cilotax stent group (0% vs 10.9%, p = 0.027).” Snowmass 2014
