Clinical review
of IN.PACT AV drug-coated balloon

A clinical review of IN.PACT™ AV drug-coated balloon (DCB) and other therapies for AV fistula maintenance

Leave a clear path for the dialysis lifeline

IN.PACT AV DCB:

  • Demonstrates 56% fewer reinterventions than PTA1
  • Slows the progression of restenosis
  • Minimizes the potential post-treatment limitations of stents
  • Offers superior performance compared to PTA through 36 months2

AV maintenance trial review

Only device to achieve > 80% primary patency through six months in an AVF trial

IN.PACT AV DCB treats the cause of restenosis — not just the symptoms — helping to move your patients in the right direction.

AV access maintenance trials — target lesion primary patency

36-month data 

First and only DCB with superior, sustained results at 36 months2,10

Compared to PTA, the IN.PACT AV drug-coated balloon is the first and only DCB to show both superior and sustained results at 36 months in treating AV fistula lesions.

The highest reported primary patency of any DCB at 36 months.

Results from separate trials comparing drug-coated balloons to standard PTA for AV fistula maintenance.
