Abstract
- Abstract: Background: Coronary in-stent restenosis (ISR) continues to be a therapeutic challenge especially after drug eluting stent (DES) implantation. We studied patients with ISR to investigate safety and efficacy of a novel drug coated balloon (DCB) incorporating paclitaxel into a microcrystalline structure by applying the inert excipient butyryltri-n-hexyl citrate (BTHC) in a prospective First-in-Man trial. Methods and Materials: Eighty-one patients were enrolled at 9 European sites, thereof 43 (53.1%) presenting with bare metal stent (BMS)-ISR and 38 (46.9%) with DES-ISR. The primary study endpoint was in-stent late lumen loss (LLL) independently assessed by a quantitative coronary angiography laboratory at 6 months. A secondary endpoint was major adverse cardiac events (MACE), a composite of cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, clinically driven target vessel revascularization after 6 and 12 months. Results: At 6 months, overall LLL was 0.07±0.31 mm showing differences in BMS-ISR and DES-ISR treatment (−0.05±0.28 mm vs. 0.19±0.29 mm, respectively, P=.001). Overall MACE rates at 6 and 12 months were 6.5% and 11.8%. At the 12-month follow-up, one myocardial infarction, and no cardiac death nor stent thrombosis had occurred. Conclusion: Application of a novel paclitaxel coated balloon using BTHC as an excipient in patients with ISR is safe and results in very low LLL, revascularization- and MACE-rates at follow-up.
