Event Description
|
A journal article was submitted detailing a case of an uncommon cutaneous manifestation after paclitaxel-coated balloon angioplasty.Medtronic¿s in.Pact admiral drug coated balloon and evercross pta balloons were used during an elective endovascular intervention f ollowing preintervention angiogram which confirmed high-grade stenosis at the proximal anastomosis.Following pre-dilation pta was performed using an in.Pact admiral dcb resulting in satisfactory angiographic outcome without evidence of microembolization.A high-grade stenosis noted in the profunda femoris was treated with an evercross pta balloon.The procedure was completed successfully.One week later the patient presented with painful papules and macules on the left foot.Some lesions were erythematous with blister like appearance, whereas others were flat, consistent with petechiae.They were scattered along the plantar surface of foot and toes.Doppler examination revealed pedal signals and improved abi.Given distribution and timing of presentation, these lesions were deduced to be embolic phenomena related to the intervention to the bypass, which had direct in-line flow to the tibial vessels.Cutaneous manifestation, it is more likely that the cutaneous lesions were due to embolization of paclitaxel several days after intervention.Subject was treated conservatively with pain control and steroid medications.At 1-month follow-up, the lesions had largely healed and at 3 months follow-up, lesions had completely resolved and the patient remained free of claudication symptoms.
