Abstract:

OBJECTIVES: This study sought to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Ranger drug-coated balloon (DCB) (paclitaxel dose density 2 μg/mm²) for treating superficial femoral artery or proximal popliteal artery lesions. BACKGROUND: Paclitaxel-coated balloon treatment prevents reinterventions, but dose and coating characteristics differ among balloons and necessitate discrete confirmation of safety and effectiveness. METHODS: Patients with symptomatic lower limb ischemia (Rutherford classification 2 to 4) were randomized 3:1 to treatment with the Ranger DCB or standard percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). Twelve-month primary target lesion patency, freedom from major adverse events (i.e., target lesion revascularization, major amputations, death within 1 month of the index procedure), and patient outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS: Mean lesion length was 82.5 ± 48.9 mm for the Ranger DCB group (n = 278) and 79.9 ± 49.3 mm for the control group (n = 98). Ranger DCB was superior to PTA (82.9% [n = 194 of 234] vs. 66.3% [n = 57 of 86]) with observed 12-month primary patency rates yielding a difference of 16.6% (95% confidence interval: 5.5% to 27.7%; p = 0.0013). Noninferior freedom from major adverse events (94.1% [n = 241 of 256] vs. 83.5% [n = 76 of 91]) was demonstrated with a difference of 10.6% (95% confidence interval: 2.5% to 18.8%; noninferiority p < 0.0001). Primary patency rate curves showed significant separation by Kaplan-Meier analysis (log-rank p = 0.0005), with rates of 89.8% and 74.0% estimated at day 365 for the Ranger DCB and PTA cohorts, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The low-dose Ranger DCB demonstrated significantly better effectiveness than standard PTA through 1 year and a good safety profile.
