Mortality with Paclitaxel-Coated Devices in Peripheral Artery Disease [1]
An ad hoc interim analysis pursuant to previous publications raising concerns on Paclitaxel DCS in chronic critical and not-critical lower limb ischaemia. The short manuscript requires careful reading to form an individual opinion beyond the relatively simple arithmetics: slightly more deaths in the intervention group. The vasculopathic cohort had a 75% crude overall survival after only 2.5 years.
