Cagent Vascular, the exclusive developer of serration technology for vessel dilatation in endovascular interventions, announced the results of its Below-the-Knee (BTK) RECOIL study.

Key Points: 
  • Cagent Vascular, the exclusive developer of serration technology for vessel dilatation in endovascular interventions, announced the results of its Below-the-Knee (BTK) RECOIL study.
  • This Core Lab-Adjudicated Recoil analysis, the first of its kind, evaluated vessel recoil in lesions treated with Serranator® verses Plain Old Balloon Angioplasty (POBA).
  • The study results demonstrated that lesions treated using Serration Angioplasty exhibited 49% less average recoil than POBA.
  • “The 49% difference demonstrated in the RECOIL study between Serranator® and POBA is statistically significant and in my view also clinically relevant.

Cagent Vascular, the exclusive developer of Serration Angioplasty (Serranator®), announced the results of a comparative sub-analysis of the PRELUDE-Below-the-Knee (BTK) study versus Plain Old Balloon Angioplasty (POBA).

Key Points: 
  • Cagent Vascular, the exclusive developer of Serration Angioplasty (Serranator®), announced the results of a comparative sub-analysis of the PRELUDE-Below-the-Knee (BTK) study versus Plain Old Balloon Angioplasty (POBA).
  • The Serranator-treated lesions had an average final residual stenosis of 17.2 +/- (8.2%) versus 33.7 +/- (15.7%) in the POBA group.
  • The average balloon inflation pressure was 5 ATM in the Serranator group versus 9 ATM in the conventional balloon angioplasty group.
  • In these cases, our goal is to restore sufficient blood flow to allow a patient’s wound to heal, without leaving anything behind.

Cagent Vascular Announces Commercial Launch of the Serranator Above-the-Knee (ATK) Product

Cagent Vascular launched the Serranator Below-the-Knee (BTK) product in January 2021.

Key Points: 
  • Cagent Vascular launched the Serranator Below-the-Knee (BTK) product in January 2021.
  • Since then, there has been rapid adoption at targeted centers, where Serranator is quickly becoming the standard of care.
  • The Serranator PTA Serration Balloon Catheter is an angioplasty device with serrated metal strips embedded on a semi-compliant balloon.
  • Expanding into the ATK segment will generate significant incremental revenue and build upon our success from last years BTK product launch where the Serranator was used as the primary therapy.
