Brief Summary

The SAFE-PAD Study aims to evaluate the long-term safety of paclitaxel-coated devices compared with non-paclitaxel-coated devices for femoropopliteal artery revascularization among a broad, real-world population of patients with peripheral artery disease. This multi-year analysis aims to create an ongoing mechanism to evaluate the safety of paclitaxel-coated devices in real world practice. The null hypothesis is that the paclitaxel-coated devices are associated with an increase in mortality relative to the non-drug-coated devices beyond an acceptable magnitude (i.e. the non-inferiority margin), and the alternative hypothesis is that paclitaxel-coated devices are not associated with an increase in mortality relative to the non-drug-coated devices beyond the non-inferiority margin.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • All-cause mortality

    All-cause mortality of patients who underwent femoropopliteal artery revascularization with drug-coated devices or non-drug-coated devices

    Time from index procedure date to the date of death, to be updated periodically until the median duration of follow-up for the cohort reaches 5 years

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Repeat hospitalization

    1, 2 and 3 years after index procedure

  • Repeat endovascular or surgical revascularization

    1, 2 and 3 years after index procedure

  • Target vessel revascularization

    1, 2 and 3 years after index procedure

  • Lower extremity amputation

    1, 2 and 3 years after index procedure

  • Optimal medical therapy

    1, 2 and 3 years after index procedure

Study Arms (2)

Drug-Coated Devices

Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries who underwent femoropopliteal artery revascularization with drug-coated devices (drug-eluting stent ± drug-coated balloon, bare metal stent with drug-coated balloon, or drug-coated balloon alone)

Other: Retrospective data collection

Non-Drug-Coated Devices

Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries who underwent femoropopliteal artery revascularization with non-drug-coated devices (bare metal stent ± percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty or percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty alone)

Other: Retrospective data collection

Interventions

No intervention; retrospective data collection

Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

The study cohort will include all Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries who underwent femoropopliteal artery revascularization with either drug-coated devices (drug-eluting stent \[DES\] ± drug-coated balloon \[DCB\], bare metal stent \[BMS\] with DCB, or DCB alone) or non-drug-coated devices (BMS ± percutaneous transluminal angioplasty \[PTA\] or PTA alone). Each group will additionally be composed of two device-specific subgroups: a DCB sub-group and DES sub-group in the drug-coated group, and a PTA sub-group and a BMS sub-group in the non-drug group.

You may qualify if:

  • All fee-for-service Medicare beneficiaries who underwent femoropopliteal artery revascularization. Patients are allowed to undergo simultaneous revascularization of lesions outside this target vessel during the same procedure.
  • All patients with ≥1 year of Medicare claims data prior to their index procedure.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients without 1 year of Medicare claims data prior to their index revascularization procedure.
  • Patients that do not have both a carrier file charge and an institutional file charge on the date of an outpatient procedure. This removes procedures performed in certain clinical settings, such as office-based clinics, that do not submit the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) code needed to identify drug-coated devices.
