About
This study postulates that the application of Sirolimus, an anti-proliferative agent that inhibits neointimal hyperplasia, via Sirolimus coated balloon (SCB) will be safe and will result in better arterial patency in infrainguinal peripheral arterial disease (PAD). The aim is to evaluate the efficacy (12 month freedom from clinically driven target lesion revascularisation) and safety (freedom from major adverse events) of sirolimus coated balloons in the treatment of infrainguinal PAD.
Full description
It is imperative to have effective treatment strategies for PAD which can maintain the patency of arteries. The current standard of care for PAD is angioplasty which includes usage of drug coated balloons (DCB). Paclitaxel is the only anti-proliferative drug available in all currently available DCB technology. Sirolimus is another highly effective anti-proliferative drug of immense potential as demonstrated by superior results in Sirolimus drug eluting stents in coronary disease. The physical properties of Sirolimus have made it challenging for it to be similarly applied to DCB technology and it is only due to recent advances in nanotechnology that it is now possible to develop Sirolimus coated balloons (SCB), which is the study device used in this study. The study device allows delivery and deposition of sirolimus to the arterial wall. By applying this agent into lesions in peripheral arterial disease, this study aim to effectively reduce neointimal hyperplasia, and therefore prolong the patency of the artery and improve our limb salvage rates for PAD and CLI patients. Subjects will be followed up in the clinic at 6 month, 12 month, and 24 month post-intervention to assess primary and secondary outcome of safety and efficacy.
