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

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Freedom from clinically driven target lesion revascularization

Further findings

Primary patency (Kaplan-Meier estimate) · 1 year

  • Primary patency (Kaplan-Meier estimate): control = IN.PACT Admiral; study device = Passeo-18 Lux

Safety

Primary safety endpoint: freedom from device-/procedure-related death through 30 days, major target limb amputation and clinically driven TVR · 12 months · non-inferiority

  • Primary safety endpoint: freedom from device-/procedure-related death through 30 days, major target limb amputation and clinically driven TVR: control = IN.PACT Admiral; study device = Passeo-18 Lux

Primary safety endpoint: freedom from device-/procedure-related death through 30 days, major target limb amputation and clinically driven TVR · 12 months

Null hypothesis of inferiority rejected
