Cost-Effectiveness
of Distal Protection for Patients Undergoing Vein Graft Intervention:
Results from the SAFER Trial
by David J. Cohen, MD
The GuardWire balloon occlusion device, previously shown to reduce major
ischemic complications in patients undergoing PCI of saphenous vein grafts (SVGs),
achieves these benefits at a net cost of approximately $600 per patient. The
cost effectiveness of distal protection using the GuardWire is extremely
favorable compared with other accepted medical interventions. These finding
suggest that distal protection should be strongly considered in virtually
all patients undergoing vein graft PCI.

Distal Protection
On February 5 2001, the Circulatory
System Devices Panel met to discuss the Percusurge Guardwire distal protection
device as well as important clinical study design issues for similar devices.
TCTMD provides you with a summary of these discussions.

Despite the use of new interventional devices, SVG interventions are associated
with significant morbidity and mortality; SVG stenting is not associated with
better three-year event-free survival. This may be due to progressive disease at
nonstented sites.
Polytetrafluoroethylene-covered stent for the treatment of narrowings in aorticocoronary saphenous vein grafts

Comparison of the outcome of patients with SVG disease treated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-covered stents or noncovered stents. Angiographic success was similar; non-Q-wave myocardial infarction was lower in the PTFE group (p = 0.06) and long- term major cardiac events and restenosis rate were similar in the 2 groups. Implantation of PTFE-covered stent in vein graft disease seems to reduce the occurrence of distal embolization.

Multicenter study on 109 consecutive patients who received polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane-covered stents for 125 de novo stenoses in vein grafts 11+/-5 years after bypass
surgery. One patient suffered from subacute stent thrombosis. Six-month cardiac mortality was 7% (8
patients), 3 patients (3%) underwent repeat bypass surgery, and 9 patients (8%) required target-lesion
PTCA. Repeat angiography revealed vessel occlusions in 9% and in-stent restenosis in 8% of patients by the end of
follow-up.
Contemporary percutaneous treatment of saphenous vein graft stenosis: immediate and late outcomes

Treatment of SVG lesions continues to be associated with a high incidence of myocardial
infarction, particularly in cases of degenerated SVG lesions. An effective blood supply to the anterior wall and a higher left ventricular ejection fraction were protective for the occurrence of death during the follow-up
period.
Incidence and risk factors predictive of unstable angina resulting from restenosis after percutaneous angioplasty of saphenous vein grafts.
Chandrasekar B Bourassa MG
Am Heart J 2000;140:827-833
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/htbin-post/Entrez/query?db=m&form=6&dopt=r&uid=0011099984
Unstable angina caused by restenosis presents in as many as one fourth of patients undergoing PTCA of
SVG. Dyslipidemia strongly, and to a lesser extent postprocedural residual
stenosis, predicts its occurrence. Scrupulous attention to these modifiable risk factors may help reduce the incidence of unstable angina after SVG
angioplasty.
Late-Breaking Clinical Trial
SAFER (Saphenous Vein Graft Angioplasty Free of Emboli Randomized Trial)
Baim DS Presented at the TCT 2000 Meeting
The SAFER Trial (Evaluation of the Clinical Safety and Efficacy of the PercuSurge GuardWire as compared to a conventional guidewire in Saphenous Vein Graft
Intervention) demonstrated that the use of a distal protection catheter device reduces the risk of cardiac events associated with SVG
stenting. The PercuSurge Guardwire System, which evacuates blood and debris caught behind an occluding balloon after stent
placement, also produced improvements in TIMI flow. The study is a "pivotal" investigation for clarifying the role of distal protection
devices.
