Participant Flow

Among 73 patients, 331 stenotic vessels were identified. 86 vessels were not eligible and 245 vessels were potentially eligible. 72 vessels were considered successfully treated after low-pressure dilation. 173 met eligibility. 66 vessels were randomized to High Pressure Balloon (HPB) and 107 vessels were randomized to Cutting Balloon (CB).

Unit of analysis: Vessels

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Pre-intervention to immediate post-intervention (approximately 10 minutes)

Population: Vessels with resistant Pulmonary Artery Stenosis were identified during catheterization and eligible vessels were randomized to Cutting Balloon or High Pressure Balloon Dilation. Patients had variable number of eligible vessels. Each eligible vessel was randomized at the time of procedure.

The primary efficacy outcome is the percent change in minimum lumen diameter from pre-intervention to immediately post-intervention as measured by angiography.

n=73 participants at risk
Vessels with resistant Pulmonary Artery Stenosis were identified during catheterization and eligible vessels were randomized to Cutting Balloon (CB) or High Pressure Balloon Dilation (HPB). Of the 73 patients, 26 received CB dilation only, 8 patients received HPB dilation only, and 39 patients received both CB and HPB dilations. Therefore, 65/73 patients were exposed to CB and 47/73 patients were exposed to HPB. Due to the overlap in treatment amongst patients, adverse events are reported on the patient level and not by intervention type.
