Late mortality rates ‘inadvertently reversed’ in 5-year study of paclitaxel-eluting stent
The journal Circulation said this week that the all-cause mortality rates in a study comparing a paclitaxel stent and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in people with peripheral artery disease were “inadvertently reversed” by the authors.
In the first version of the paper, originally published in 2016, researchers reported that the 5-year all-cause mortality rate for people treated with Cook Medical‘s Zilver PTX stent was 10.2% and 16.9% for the PTA group. But the correction reversed those numbers.

Why does a diabetic wound take longer to heal?
Diabetes and wound healing have a complicated relationship, namely because many symptoms of the condition impact the body’s ability to recover at an average pace. As a result, patients with diabetes are also more susceptible to infection and other complications during the wound healing process. Even minor cuts, scrapes and blisters require cautious and mindful care.
Here are the main reasons why diabetic wound healing is a slower process:
Patients with diabetes are prone to delayed wound healing.
Blood sugar levels
Patients with diabetes have high blood sugar levels, which can inhibit nutrients and oxygen f...

Do you know the warning signs of peripheral artery disease?
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a general term usually referring to arterial blockage of the lower extremities and most commonly a result of the development of atherosclerotic plaque. It is generally found in patients over the age of 60 years, more often in men than women, and is frequently associated with other areas of arterial disease, including that of heart disease and stroke.
PAD has a variety of manifestations ranging from no symptoms at all to symptoms of leg pain in the muscles… (Source: bizjournals.com Health Care:Pharmaceuticals headlines)

Docs plan industry collab to study paclitaxel devices
Non-for-profit org Viva Physicians said yesterday that it will lead a pan-industry effort to study the use of paclitaxel-eluting devices for the treatment of peripheral artery disease in above-the-knee applications.
The initiative comes on the heels of a meta-analysis published in the Journal of the American Heart Association this month showing a potential link between increased long-term mortality outcomes and paclitaxel devices.
