ISCHEMIA

arteries carry blood rich with oxygen and nutrients

from your heart to the rest of the body

ischemiaoccurs when the

arteries that carry blood become narrowed

or blocked


Plaque is made up of

cholesterol, calcium and fibrous tissue

As more plaque forms, your arteries can narrow and stiffen. Eventually, enough plaque builds up to reduce blood flow to

your arteries.


when plaque build up accumulates to reduce

flow to your legs, this is called PAD or

Peripheral Arterial Disease


THIS IS UNFORTUNATELY A PROGRESSIVE DISEASE

CLI: DEFINED - NON HEALING WOUND - REST PAIN - GANGRENE



most common presentation


50 % of individuals that suffer an amputation secondary to PAD

are DEAD IN 12 TO 24 MONTHS


pad is caused byatherosclerosis

risk factors:

- SMOKING- HIGH CHOLESTEROL-HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE-OBESITY-FAMILY HISTORY OF CARDIOVASCULAR DZ- END STAGE RENAL

PAD $164 B CAD $129 CVD $41

*Annual outpatient medication costs + inpatient interventions †U.S. REACH population inpatient costs + outpatient medication: PAD $9,298 X 17.6 M; CAD $7,920 X 16.3 M and CVD $5,854 X 7.0M





THE MACROECONOMIC COST OF PAD IS HIGH





HOSPITAL COSTS ACCOUNT FOR THE MAJORITY OF TOTAL PAD COSTS







HOSPITAL COSTS ARE SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED BY CARDIOVASCULAR AND NON-PAD EVENTS









AMPUTATION CONTINUES TO BE THE FIRST TREATMENT FOR CLI IN MANY LOCATIONS











2010 COSTS OF PAD EXCEEDED CAD AND CVD

The Role of Atherectomy BTK

• Regarding tibial atherectomy, there has been a number of single-center or multicenter studies, but all self-reported without core lab or Clinical Event Committee (CEC) adjudication.


DEFINITIVE LE Determination of Effectiveness of the SilverHawk® Peripheral Plaque Excision System (SilverHawk Device) for the Treatment of Infrainguinal Vessels / Lower Extremities

12 Month Final Results

- the largest independently-adjudicated study of peripheral atherectomy performed to date


• 800 patients

• Prospective, non-randomized, global/multicenter

• Claudicants and CLI

• Diabetics v non-diabetics

• Primary patency & limb salvage

• SFA, popliteal and tibial


Lesion Assessment - core lab reported


Infrapopliteal Subgroup

• 145 patients

• 75 with claudication

• 70 with CLI

• 189 lesions

• 93 in claudicant group

• 96 in CLI group


infrapopliteal baseline lesion characteristics - Core Lab Reported


Tibial Data

• 189 infrapopliteal lesions (18%)

•Limb salvage 95% 1 year

12 Month Primary Patency in infrapopliteal lesions was higher than published PTA, BMS

and DES, despite a longer mean lesion length.

Periprocedureal complications all infrapopliteal patients


bail-out stent rate: 2.7% (4/145)

• Claudicants: 4.3%

• (3/70)

• CLI group: 1.3%

• (1/75)


summary

• Effective for short, medium and long lesions in claudicants and CLI

• Diabetics perform equally well when treated with directional atherectomy to non-diabetics for claudicants


• Directional atherectomy is a safe and effective treatment option for infrapopliteal disease

• Low complication rate

• Low distal embolic event rate 1.4%

• Low bail-out stent rate 2.7% (1.3% in CLI patients)

• High patency rate

• 90% Primary Patency in Infrapopliteal lesions (5.5 cm) in claudicants

• 78% Primary Patency in Infrapopliteal lesions (6.0 cm) in CLI patients

• 73% Primary Patency in long Infrapopliteal (13.4 cm) in CLI patients


“an up front debulking strategy is not only safe but is now proven effective and may be the best first

approach—to leave nothing behind—in our patients with symptomatic disease.”
