Laser Angioplasty for Critical Limb Ischemia Results of the LACI Phase 2 Registry LACI 2 Results
Study Design • Prospective, multi-center study • Patients with CLI • Rutherford Category 4-6 • poor surgical candidates • Treatment: ELA of SFA, popliteal and/or infrapopliteal arteries, with adjunctive PTA and optional stenting • Primary Efficacy Endpoint: limb salvage at 6 mo. • freedom from amputation at or above the ankle • Primary Safety Endpoint: death at 6 mo. LACI 2 Results
Study Design • Included catheters: • 2.2 - 2.5mm Spectranetics peripheral laser catheters • any Spectranetics coronary laser catheter • Poor surgical candidates because: • poor or absent vessel for outflow anastamosis, or • absence of venous conduit, or • significant co-morbidity • Enrollment period: April ‘01 - April ’02 • Enrollment: 145 patients, 155 limbs LACI 2 Results
Historical Control Group • Italian multicenter randomized study of Prostaglandin E1 in CLI patients • 771 in alprostadil group • 789 in control group • Control group received variety of therapies (bypass, endarterectomy, medication, and a few PTAs) • “the best you can do” for these patients • Ann Intern Med 1999; 130:412-421 • Conforms to TASC definitions and GCP

LACI Phase 2 Summary • Treatment of complex disease – multiple stenoses and occlusions • High risk patient population – poor candidates for surgical revascularization • High procedural success with few in-hospital SAE’s and short hospital stay • Excellent limb salvage rate despite this high-risk patient cohort LACI 2 Results
LACI Phase 2 Summary • Outcomes met all hypotheses in the protocol • Statistics meet the benchmarks of safety and effectiveness LACI 2 Results
Clinical Benefit of LACI • The LACI treatment strategy salvaged limbs... • Efficacy endpoint equaled “the best” benchmarks in the literature • …without affecting patient’s chances of survival... • Safety endpoint equaled “the best” • …or significantly increasing patients’ risk of serious adverse events. Benefits
Clinical Benefit of LACI • LACI is an intravascular intervention • avoids perioperative risks of surgery • shortens initial hospital stay • does not jeopardize future surgical options and may create new surgical options • LACI Phase 2 results were achieved with virtually no surgery Benefits
Clinical Benefit of LACI • The LACI strategy is applicable to a wide range of vascular disease states • not limited to lesions amenable to PTA • LACI Phase 2 enrolled essentially “all comers” • useful in patients with no other options for limb salvage • LACI results are predictable • high rate of procedure success Benefits
Technical Benefit • ELA reduces a complex lesion pattern into something that balloons and (optional) stents can handle... Benefits
