The FDA convened a public meeting of the Circulatory System Devices Panel of the Medical Devices Advisory Committee in June 2019. This report summarizes the proceedings of this meeting and the panel's response to the 12 questions posed by the FDA related to the potentially increased late mortality of drug-coated balloons and drug-eluting stents with paclitaxel in patients with peripheral arterial disease.
