Abstract:
Recently, two meta-analyses concluded that there appears to be an increased risk of long-term mortality of paclitaxel-coated balloons and stents in the superficial femoral and popliteal artery, and paclitaxel-coated balloons below the knee. In this post hoc study of the PADI Trial, we investigated the long-term safety of first-generation paclitaxel-coated drug-eluting stents (DES) below the knee and the dose–mortality relationships of paclitaxel in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLI). Materials and Methods The PADI Trial compared paclitaxel-coated DES with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with bail-out bare-metal stents (PTA ± BMS) in patients with CLI treated below the knee. Follow-up was extended to 10 years after the first inclusion, and survival analyses were performed. In addition, dose-related mortality and dose per patient weight-related mortality relations were examined. Results A total of 140 limbs in 137 patients were included in the PADI Trial. Ten years after the first inclusion, 109/137 (79.6%) patients had died. There was no significant difference between mortality in the DES group compared with the PTA ± BMS group (Log-rank p value = 0.12). No specific dose-related mortality (HR 1.00, 95% CI 0.99–1.00, p = 0.99) or dose per weight mortality (HR 1.05, 95% CI 0.93–1.18, p = 0.46) relationships were identified in the Cox-proportional Hazard models or by Kaplan–Meier survival analyses. Conclusions There is a poor 10-year survival in both paclitaxel-coated DES and PTA ± BMS in patients with CLI treated below the knee. No dose-related adverse effects of paclitaxel-coated DES were observed in our study of patients with CLI treated below the knee. Level of Evidence The PADI Trial: level 1, randomized clinical trial
