Are you an adult requiring angioplasty for treatment of narrowed femoropopliteal arteries?

Doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital are participating in a research study to find out whether using the Moxy Drug Coated Balloon Catheter during angioplasty procedures is as safe and as good as the standard balloon catheters that are currently used. The Moxy drug coated balloon catheter is coated with a drug called Paclitaxel. Paclitaxel is approved by the FDA to treat certain types of cancers, and is widely used to coat stents.

Subjects enrolled in this study will be followed for a period of five years.

If you have questions about this research study or are interested in participating, you should call Dr. Douglas Drachman, the Principal Investigator, or Debbie O'Shaughnessy, the Research Nurse. We are available to provide you with additional information regarding this study. Please call (617) 726-3057 or e-mail doshaughnessy@partners.org.
