The Auryon 355-nm laser atherectomy system (AngioDynamics, Inc) showed a low rate of target-lesion revascularization (TLR) at 6-month follow-up in the EX-PAD-03 investigational device exemption study and the Auryon single-center experience (SCE) in treating infrainguinal arteries. In this study, we present the 1-year outcomes of the Auryon SCE study on TLR in all comers at a single center.
The Auryon SCE was a retrospective study that evaluated the outcomes of all comers treated with the Auryon laser for infrainguinal arterial disease. There was no TLR seen at 6-month follow-up. We present the TLR rate at 1 year in the same cohort of patients. TLR rates were obtained from medical record review of patients enrolled in the study who had completed office visit follow-up at 1 year. Secondary endpoints included unplanned major amputation and total mortality. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed to estimate the freedom from TLR rate following index procedure. Statistical differences were analyzed for ankle-brachial index (ABI) between baseline and 1 year.
A total of 56 patients (65 procedures, 70 lesions) were enrolled. The mean age was 70.9 ± 10 years, with 66.1% males, 48.2% diabetics, and 25% demonstrating limb ischemia. Of the 70 lesions, 31.4% had severe calcification, 38.6% were chronic total occlusions, and 48.6% were de novo disease (in-stent restenosis, 29.6%). Stenting was performed in 24/70 lesions (34.3%), with 11/70 (15.7%) bailout procedures. Embolic filters were used in 26/65 procedures (40%). The majority of treated lesions were femoropopliteal (90.0%); of all procedures, 29.2% had 2 or more prior interventions. Drug-coated balloon usage was 47.1% Lutonix (BD/Bard), 27.1% In.Pact (Boston Scientific), and 1.4% both in all lesions treated. Distal embolization occurred in 1/65 procedures (1.5%). At 1 year, mortality occurred in 3/56 patients (5.4%). Of 65 limbs treated, 2 (3.1%) had major amputation at 1 year. The probability of freedom from TLR was 83.7%.
In a realworld cohort of patient with complex disease, the Auryon laser had excellent freedom from TLR at 1 year.
在 EX-PAD-03 研究和 Auryon 单中心经验(SCE)中,Auryon 355nm 激光动脉切除术系统(AngioDynamics,Inc.)在 6 个月的随访中显示出较低的靶病变血运重建(TLR)率,用于治疗下肢动脉疾病。在这项研究中,我们报告了 Auryon SCE 研究中在单一中心所有患者的 1 年 TLR 结果。
Auryon SCE 是一项回顾性研究,评估了所有接受 Auryon 激光治疗下肢动脉疾病的患者的结局。在 6 个月的随访中未发现 TLR。我们报告了同一队列患者在 1 年时的 TLR 率。通过对完成 1 年门诊随访的研究患者的病历进行回顾性分析,获得 TLR 率。次要终点包括非计划性主要截肢和总死亡率。采用 Kaplan-Meier 生存分析估计指数手术后 TLR 无复发率。分析了基线和 1 年时踝肱指数(ABI)的差异。
共纳入 56 例患者(65 例手术,70 处病变)。平均年龄为 70.9±10 岁,66.1%为男性,48.2%为糖尿病患者,25%有肢体缺血。70 处病变中,31.4%有严重钙化,38.6%为慢性完全闭塞,48.6%为新发病变(支架内再狭窄,29.6%)。24/70 处病变(34.3%)进行了支架置入,11/70 处病变(15.7%)进行了挽救性治疗。26/65 例手术(40%)使用了栓塞滤器。大多数治疗病变为股腘段(90.0%);所有手术中,29.2%有 2 次或以上既往介入治疗。药物涂层球囊的使用率为 47.1% Lutonix(BD/Bard)、27.1% In.Pact(波士顿科学公司)和 1.4%两种均用于所有治疗的病变。65 例手术中有 1 例(1.5%)发生远端栓塞。1 年后,56 例患者中有 3 例(5.4%)死亡。65 条肢体中,2 条(3.1%)在 1 年后行大截肢术。无 TLR 发生率为 83.7%。
在复杂疾病的真实世界患者队列中,Auryon 激光在 1 年内有极好的 TLR 无复发率。
