COBRA TrialCOBRA Trial Cryoplasty or Conventional Balloon Post-dilation of Nitinol Stents For
Revascularization of Peripheral Arterial Segments
Cryoplasty• PolarCath® peripheral dilatation system simultaneously dilates & cools the vessel wall
• Cooling (-10oC) is achieved by inflating the balloon with nitrous oxide instead of saline and contrast

Mechanisms of Action Induces smooth muscle cell (SMC) apoptosis1
Minimizes SMC necrosis (-5 to -15oC)2

Revascularization of Peripheral Arterial Segments
• Background: Diabetes mellitus is associated with increased risk of in-stent restenosis after superficial femoral artery (SFA) stenting with nitinol self-expanding stents (nSES)1
• Hypothesis: When compared to conventional balloon angioplasty, cryoplasty post-dilation decreases the risk of SFA nSES in-stent restenosis

COBRA TrialCOBRA Trial
Design
• DESIGN: Prospective, randomized, multi-center clinical evaluation of the PolarCath® system vs. conventional balloon post-dilation of nSES implanted in the SFA of patients with DM, presenting with life-style limiting claudication
• OBJECTIVE: To compare the rates of binary restenosis, at 12 months, as determined by duplex ultrasound (DUS)
121 patients with DM consented between August 2008 and December 2010 in 4
clinical sites in U.S.
47 (39%) patients not stented
nSES: nitinol self-expanding stents *Excluded from stent based primary analysis

Conclusions
• In patients with diabetes mellitus presenting with life-style limiting claudication, post-dilation of nitinol self-expanding stents in the SFA using PolarCath®
• These results indicate the potential impact of stent post-dilation strategies on endovascular treatment of symptomatic peripheral arterial disease
