Enduring PROMISE: Real-world outcomes study suggests results continue to flow from transcatheter arterialization of the deep veins
First retrospective analysis shows comparable outcomes data to those found in PROMISE II pivotal trial, authors report. The first post-approval multicenter analysis of so-called “no-option” chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) patients treated using a pioneering transcatheter arterialization of the deep veins…
Deep vein arterialization: Much remains to be learned but use poised to expand in patients with less severe ischemia
These remain early days for transcatheter arterialization of the deep veins (TADV) in the setting of patients with severe chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), says Daniel Clair, MD, one of the principal investigators in key clinical trials of the procedure, but…
Personalized postoperative anticoagulation needed to curb lower-limb amputations
“We’re going to see more and more amputations if we don’t figure out the right post procedure thromboprophylaxis regime ASAP,” Anahita Dua, MD, warned during a lecture on innovative approaches to preventing amputation at the Vascular Society of Great Britain…
FDA approves LimFlow system for ‘no-option’ CLTI patients
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today announced approval of LimFlow therapy—a novel and minimally invasive procedure designed to bypass blockages in arteries of the legs and restore blood flow for many thousands of people suffering from chronic limb-threatening ischemia…
PROMISE II U.S. pivotal trial of device designed for ‘no-option’ CLTI patients completes enrollment
Enrollment has been completed in the PROMISE II pivotal trial of the LimFlow deep vein arterialization system designed to prevent amputations in so-called “no-option” chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) patients, the eponymous device maker announced today. “The PROMISE II investigators are…
One-year results from PROMISE I study of LimFlow system in ‘no-option’ CLTI patients published
Twelve-month data from the full patient cohort in the PROMISE I study of the LimFlow percutaneous deep vein arterialization (pDVA) system have been published in the Journal of Vascular Surgery. Results showed sustained positive outcomes for both amputation-free survival and…
