Head-to-Head Comparison of 2 Paclitaxel-Coated Balloons for Femoropopliteal Lesions
Authors' conclusion
The Passeo-18 Lux and the IN.PACT Admiral DCBs demonstrate comparable results with excellent effectiveness and safety through 12 months for femoropopliteal interventions.
Study context
- Population
- Symptomatic PAD caused by stenosis, restenosis or occlusion of the femoral and/or popliteal arteries
- Participants
- 302 participants
- Comparison
- Passeo-18 Lux drug-coated balloon (DCB) vs IN.PACT Admiral DCB
- Primary endpoint
- Freedom from clinically driven target lesion revascularization (efficacy); composite of freedom from device-/procedure-related death through 30 days, major target limb amputation and clinically driven target vessel revascularization (safety)
- Follow-up
- 12 months
Methodological detailsnon-inferiority, 1:1 randomisation
- Non-inferiority
