Abstract
OBJECTIVES: This study sought to report the results of a prospective randomized controlled trial comparing paclitaxel-coated balloons (PCB) versus drug-eluting stents (DES) in long infrapopliteal lesions. BACKGROUND:DES have an established role in the treatment of short infrapopliteal lesions, whereas there is increasing evidence for the use of PCB in longer below-the-knee lesions. METHODS:Inclusion criteria were patients with Rutherford classes 3 to 6 and angiographically documented infrapopliteal disease with a minimum lesion length of 70 mm. The primary endpoint was target lesion restenosis >50% assessed by digital angiography at 6 months. Secondary endpoints included immediate post-procedure stenosis and target lesion revascularization. RESULTS:Fifty patients were randomized to undergo infrapopliteal PCB angioplasty (25 arteries in 25 limbs; PCB group) or primary DES placement (30 arteries in 27 limbs; DES group). Immediate residual post-procedure stenosis was significantly lower in DES (9.6 ± 2.2% vs. 24.8 ± 3.5% in PCB; p < 0.0001). At 6 months, 5 patients died (2 in PCB vs. 3 in DES; p = 1.00) and 3 suffered a major amputation (1 in PCB vs. 2 in DES; p = 1.00). In total, 44 angiograms were evaluable with quantitative vessel analysis. Binary (>50%) angiographic restenosis rate was significantly lower in DES (7 of 25 [28%] vs. 11 of 19 [57.9%] in PCB; p = 0.0457). There were no significant differences with regard to target lesion revascularization (2 of 26 [7.7%] in DES vs. 3 of 22 [13.6%] in PCB; p = 0.65). Positive vessel wall remodeling was observed in 3 cases in the PCB arm (3 of 19 [(15.8%)] vs. 0 of 19 [0%] in DES; p = 0.07). CONCLUSIONS: Compared with PCB in long infrapopliteal lesions, DES are related with significantly lower residual immediate post-procedure stenosis and have shown significantly reduced vessel restenosis at 6 months. PCB may produce positive vessel remodeling. (Infrapopliteal Drug-Eluting Angioplasty Versus Stenting [IDEAS-I]; NCT01517997).
