Questions
- During LINC Congress, final 2 Years results of REFLOW study have been presented. What are the main conclusions?
- Why are these results so relevant after 2 years follow up?
- What are the clinical results obtained with alternative therapeutic options, like DES or by-pass surgery, available data on long term safety?
- Considering the recent discussion on paclitaxel long term effects, did you obtain any additional data on long term safety?
- Which are the unique characteristics of LEGFLOW leading to these extraordinary results?
Learning Objectives
- REFLOW study has enrolled 120 patients with SFA stenotic long and complex lesions at high risk of restenosis.
- Results at 1 year follow up showed high % primary patency (71%) and freedom from target lesion revascularization (80%) despite the long and complex lesions.
- Improvement of Rutherford Class is maintained along the first year of follow up, showing claudication reduction for the patients enrolled.
- Results at 2 year follow up (to be presented at LINC 2021) will bring additional info on the long term effect of LEGFLOW OTW in patients at high risk of restenosis.
