Medtronic IN.PACT Admiral DCB Maintains Durable, Consistent and Safe Outcomes in Challenging Peripheral Cases

New Rigorous Analyses Presented at Charing Cross Reinforce Efficacy in Females, Chronic Total Occlusions and Patients with Diabetes; Data Details Unique, Sustained Benefit with IN.PACT Admiral DCB   

DUBLIN and LONDON., Medtronic plc today added to its robust body of clinical evidence supporting the IN.PACT^TM Admiral^TM drug-coated balloon (DCB) with several new presentations that showed durable and consistent clinical outcomes in the most challenging patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). The new data, presented at the 2016 Charing Cross Symposium in London, included the one-year results from the chronic total occlusion imaging cohort from the IN.PACT Global Study and the two-year gender and diabetic subgroup analyses from the pivotal IN.PACT SFA Trial.

"The IN.PACT Admiral drug-coated balloon's unique coating delivers paclitaxel in a solid state which results in durable tissue levels of drug leading to prolonged anti-restenotic effect. We have first-of-its-kind data that shows it continues to do so even in the more challenging cases and patient populations," said Peter Schneider, M.D., of Kaiser Medical Center in Honolulu, and a principal investigator of the IN.PACT SFA Trial. "These data continue to position the IN.PACT Admiral drug- coated balloon as a durable treatment option for femoropopliteal interventions."
