First-In-Human Trial - Paclitaxel-Releasing Balloon in Patients Presenting with In-Stent Restenosis
Conclusion
- Application of a paclitaxel-coated balloon using butyryl-tri-hexyl citrate (BTHC) as an excipient is feasible and safe in a mixed population of patients with predominantly type I bare metal stent (BMS) or drug-eluting stent (DES) in-stent restenosis (ISR) lesion.
- A short exposure of the vessel wall to paclitaxel results in very low late lumen loss, revascularization and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) rates.
- Pantera Lux application is a valuable treatment option for ISR in both BMS and DES patients.
