Short, accessible Expert Interviews will be available with select faculty focusing on the results, applicability, and impact on future research.

About the episode

LINC 23 - Dr Marianne Brodmann (Medical University of Graz, AT) joins us to discuss the findings from the RANGER II SFA Trial, originally presented at LINC's 2023 scientific sessions. The RANGER trial set out to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Ranger™ Paclitaxel Coated Balloon in treating lesions in the superficial femoral and proximal popliteal arteries. This trial enrolled a cohort of 440 patients.

In this interview, Dr Brodmann reveals the long-term efficacy results. These suggested that the Ranger device had an efficient outcome in regard to target lesion revascularisation at both 3 and 4 years.

Interview Questions:

  1. Tell us about the device investigated in this trial and its unique features.
  2. What was the patient cohort and study design?
  3. What are the key findings revealed at LINC 23?
  4. Are there any patient groups that could benefit more from the use of this DCB?
  5. What further research is still required?
  6. What are the next steps?

Recorded remotely from Graz, 2023.
