Drug-coated balloons to treat fem-pop disease
April 27, 2014- Interviewed by Steven E. Greer, MD
At the Charing Cross symposium in London, Medtronic reported results of the IN-PACT trial of their paclitaxel balloon. 12-month patency rates were 82%, compared to angioplasty-alone rates of 52%.
We interviewed UCLA vascular surgeon Brian DeRubertis, M.D. to put the data in perspective. Bard also has a balloon-coated product.
