Paclitaxel-Coated Balloon for the Treatment of Small Vessel In-Stent Restenosis: A Subgroup Analysis of the AGENT IDE Randomized Trial

Abstract

BACKGROUD -  Treatment of small vessel (SV) coronary artery disease is associated with higher restenosis rates. Drug-coated balloons offer a promising treatment option for stent failure by delivering an antiproliferative drug and avoiding an additional metal implant. However, evidence supporting the use of paclitaxel-coated balloons (PCBs) for in-stent restenosis (ISR) in SVs is limited.


OBJECTIVES - The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PCB vs uncoated balloon angioplasty according to vessel size.


METHODS - AGENT IDE (A Clinical Trial to Assess the Agent Paclitaxel Coated PTCA Balloon Catheter for the Treatment of Subjects With In-Stent Restenosis) randomized 600 patients with ISR to treatment with PCBs or uncoated balloons (2:1). This prespecified analysis evaluated the treatment effect of PCBs in SV (reference vessel diameter [RVD] ≤2.75 mm) and large vessel (RVD >2.75 mm) ISR. The primary endpoint of 1-year target lesion failure (TLF) was a composite of target lesion revascularization, cardiac death, and target vessel-related myocardial infarction.


RESULTS -  Among 597 patients with known angiographic core laboratory-adjudicated vessel size, 56% had SVs (mean RVD 2.4 ± 0.3 mm) and 44% had large vessels (mean RVD 3.1 ± 0.3 mm). One-year TLF was 20.6% vs 22.6% in the SV vs large vessel groups, respectively (HR: 0.92; 95% CI: 0.65-1.31; P = 0.65). PCBs were associated with a 39% relative reduction in TLF compared with balloon angioplasty in patients with SVs (17.7% vs 27.4%; HR: 0.61; 95% CI: 0.37-0.99) and a 43% reduction in patients with large vessels (18.4% vs 30.5%; HR: 0.57; 95% CI: 0.34-0.96). The benefits of PCB use remained consistent, irrespective of vessel size (Pinteraction = 0.88). None of the patients treated with PCBs experienced definite or probable stent thrombosis.


CONCLUSIONS -  This prespecified subgroup analysis demonstrates that angioplasty with a PCB was associated with consistently reduced rates of 1-year TLF compared with an uncoated balloon in both SV and large vessel ISR patients.
