About the episode

LINC 23 - Dr Scott Trerotola (Penn Medicine, Philadelphia, PA, US) joins us to discuss the interim findings of the AVPAS Lutonix drug-coated balloon post-approval study.

The Lutonix 035 drug-coated balloon PTA catheter is a low-profile DCB designed to address de novo, restenotic or in-stent restenotic lesions in the superficial femoral and popliteal arteries. Dr Trerotola provides an insight into a prospective, global, multicenter post-approval study into the clinical use and safety of the Lutonix PTA catheter in patients with arteriovenous fistulae in the upper extremity.

Results suggest that this planned interim analysis of 81 patients shows a 6-month target lesion primary patency of 77.6%. 

Questions:

  1. What is the reasoning behind this post-approval study?
  2. Tell us about the Lutonix PTA Catheter and its unique features.
  3. What were the study design and patient population?
  4. What were the key findings revealed at LINC 23?
  5. How should these findings impact clinical practice and future research?
  6. What further study is needed?
