RANGER II SFA Pivotal Trial1
Prospective, Multi-Center, Randomized Controlled Trial Ranger Drug-Coated Balloon vs. Uncoated Balloon (3:1). Follow-up through 5-Years.
Ranger DCB demonstrated exceptional outcomes at 2-Years. No matter the lesion complexity. No matter the patient1.

COMPARE Randomized Controlled Trial Results1
COMPARE is the World’s First Head-to-Head Prospective, RCT (1:1) directly comparing SFA DCBs – low dose Ranger DCB vs higher dose IN.PACT DCB.
Ranger DCB demonstrated similar primary patency as IN.PACT at 2-Years1 with half the total drug dose2.

2. Based on total drug dose for (4mmx60mm) or (averages for full size matrix) per the Ranger™ Paclitaxel-Coated PTA Balloon Catheter and IN.PACT™ Admiral Instructions for Use.

Primary efficacy endpoint: primary patency at 1-Year defined as absence of clinically driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR) or binary restenosis determined as a peak systolic velocity ratio > 2.4 evaluated by duplex ultrasound core laboratory analysis.
CD-TLR: a reintervention performed for ≥ 50% diameter stenosis (confirmed by angiography) within ± 5 mm proximal and/or distal to the target lesion after documentation of recurrent clinical symptoms of PAD (increase of 1 Rutherford class or more) and/or drop of ABI (≥20% or >0.15 when compared to maximum early post-procedural level).
