IN.PACT AV Drug-Coated Balloon
for Arteriovenous (AV) Access Maintenance

The IN.PACT™ AV drug-coated balloon (DCB) enables you to get ahead of AV fistula restenosis by treating the cause — not just the symptoms — of fistula stenosis, helping to preserve the fistula for dialysis.1

Indications

The IN.PACT AV paclitaxel-coated PTA balloon catheter is indicated for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, after appropriate vessel preparation, for the treatment of obstructive lesions up to 100 mm in length in the native arteriovenous dialysis fistulae with reference vessel diameters of 4 to 12 mm.

Product details

The IN.PACT AV DCB is a clinically demonstrated endovascular therapy for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients with a narrowed AV fistula. It delivers an antiproliferative drug (paclitaxel) to the vessel to inhibit neointimal hyperplasia (NIH), the primary cause of AV fistula stenosis. The proprietary design enables the IN.PACT AV DCB to deliver sustained drug levels and unparalleled clinical results.1

Efficient delivery

A proprietary combination of paclitaxel drug and urea excipient allows rapid transfer of the antiproliferative drug to the vessel wall.2

Sustained duration

Reservoirs of the drug stay in the vessel wall, capable of delivering effective paclitaxel levels by residing in the vessel for up to 180 days.2

Extended effect

Uniquely combining an appropriate dosage for an appropriate amount of time,2 the IN.PACT AV DCB can reduce the need for reinterventions and catheter-based dialysis and the related risks of infection and all-cause mortality.1

Get ahead of AV fistula restenosis1

In the largest randomized AV DCB study conducted, IN.PACT AV DCB reduced interventions by more than 56% over PTA.1 It is the only AV DCB on the market to meet its primary effectiveness endpoint.

How it works

MECHANISM OF ACTION

The IN.PACT AV DCB is coated with a unique combination of paclitaxel, an antiproliferative drug, and an excipient, urea. The unique drug dose and excipient formulation showed unmatched results versus PTA in the largest AV DCB clinical trial.1
