Medtech manufacturers must add warning label to drug-eluting PAD devices

June 16, 2020 By Nancy Crotti

UK medtech regulators on Monday announced that manufacturers of paclitaxel-eluting balloons for use in peripheral arteries must add a warning label about the devices’ risks.

Led by Dr. Konstantinos Katsanos, researchers looked at data from 28 trials and discovered that there was a 68% relative risk increase in all-cause death with paclitaxel-coated devices after 5 years and a 93% relative risk after 5 years compared to therapy with an uncoated balloon.
