4/18/2013 Problems with balloon angioplasty How Does Balloon Angioplasty Work? Achilles heal of balloon angioplasty=dissection • Equal pressure in all directions around the circumference of the irregular lumen. • Pressure increases until it overwhelms the lesion through compression and plaque fracture. • When the lesion gives way, the pressure propagates along the artery and there is usually uncontrolled damage. Anterior tibial artery dissection after long segment recanalization SFA dissections Above knee popliteal artery dissection at re-entry site Recanalizing Atherosclerotic Vessels • Balloon Angioplasty – – Minimally invasive – Technique “dissects” plaque from wall allowing adventitia to expand to maximum diameter – New larger lumen accommodates pre-existing plaque and increased cross-section for blood flow – Problems: • Plaque is not “molded” but dissected and fractured >40% immediate failure of PTA in uncontrolled (random) manner requiring bailout stents • Plaque often “falls into” lumen � obstruction • Irregularity of “injury” and plaque conformation can initiate restenosis � reaction to injury 8 2

J Vasc Surg 2010 SFA Treatment Failed SFA Intervention Conformational Forces After primary stent, TASC C and D lesions are more likely to fail with occlusion rather than stenosis, lose run-off vessels, and extend the length of contiguous diseased arterial segments than their TASC A and B counterparts.

4/18/2013 No Metal Left Behind: Improving POBA and Bioresorbable Stents Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold Improve Balloon Angioplasty Technique • Use a balloon that covers the entire length of the lesion. • Increase pressure gradually so that it is only as high as it needs to be to dilate the lesion. • Leave balloon inflated for 2-3 minutes. • Repeat if necessary. CAUTION: Investigational use only. Not available for sale in or outside the U.S. Bioresorbable Stent Bioresorbable Stent Bioabsorable Stent Technology Overview Rationale: Mechanical support at the treatment site is needed transiently. • Product(s) / Technology overview: • Provide acceptable lumen after treatment, then resorb naturally • Polymer (PLLA) vs metal alloy into the body, leaving the vessel in its native state. (magnesium) • No implant left behind • Challenges: degradation rate, control of – No permanent implant – restore natural vascular response to physiological stimuli and potentially late expansive remodeling radial force, diameter sizing, brittleness, – No stimulus for chronic inflammation cost – Future re-intervention is facilitated – Compatible with non-invasive diagnostic imaging 6
