Korean Multicenter Registry of ELUVIA Stent for Femoropopliteal Artery Disease: K-ELUVIA Registry. Korean Circ J 2024; 54:565-576. [PMID: 38859645 PMCID: PMC11361770 DOI: 10.4070/kcj.2024.0038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2024] [Revised: 03/16/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The K-ELUVIA study aimed to investigate the clinical effectiveness and safety of Eluvia™, a polymer-coated, paclitaxel-eluting stent, for femoropopliteal artery disease using data from a prospective Korean multicenter registry. METHODS A total of 105 patients with femoropopliteal artery disease who received endovascular treatment (EVT) with Eluvia™ stents at 7 Korean sites were enrolled in a prospective cohort and followed for 2 years. The primary endpoint was the 2-year clinical patency. The secondary endpoint was 2-year freedom from clinically driven target lesion revascularization (TLR). RESULTS Mean patient age was 68.2±10.4 years, and most patients (82.7%) were male. Mean lesion length was 168.3±117.6 mm. Chronic total occlusion was found in 57.7% of patients. Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus for the Management of Peripheral Arterial Disease (TASC II) type C or D lesions were present in 46.1% of patients. Procedural success was achieved in 99.0% of patients. The clinical patency rate was 84.4% at 1 year after EVT and 76.3% at 2 years post-EVT. The freedom from TLR rate was 89.1% at 1 year after EVT and 79.1% at 2 years post-EVT. Chronic total occlusion (hazard ratio [HR], 3.53; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.08-11.67; p=0.039) and smaller mean stent diameter (HR, 0.40; 95% CI, 0.16-0.98; p=0.044) were identified as independent predictors of loss of clinical patency at 2 years. CONCLUSIONS The K-ELUVIA study demonstrated favorable 2-year clinical effectiveness and safety outcomes of Eluvia stent for femoropopliteal artery lesions in real-world practice.

Abstract
Multiple clinical trials have reported favorable outcomes after drug-coated balloon therapy for peripheral artery disease in above-the-knee and below-the-knee lesions and in both de novo and in-stent restenosis. However, there are still insufficient data to identify and tackle the risk factors associated with a higher risk of restenosis, which is the primary concern for patients who are treated with an endovascular approach. A modern armamentarium, which includes improved lesion preparation techniques such as plaque modification balloons, mechanical atherectomy, intravascular lithotripsy, and imaging, is crucial for obtaining better long-term clinical outcomes. Moreover, a better understanding of the molecular properties of drug-coated balloons has led to improved devices that could tackle the shortcomings of previous generations. This comprehensive review focuses on drug-coated balloon technology as a tool to treat peripheral artery disease and the effects of the molecular mechanisms involved in preventing vascular restenosis.

Difference in one-year late lumen loss between high- and low-dose paclitaxel-coated balloons for femoropopliteal disease. Heart Vessels 2024; 39:582-588. [PMID: 38363331 PMCID: PMC11189993 DOI: 10.1007/s00380-024-02370-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2023] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 02/17/2024]
Abstract
The objective of the study is to investigate the difference in 1-year late lumen loss (LLL) between the high- (IN.PACT Admiral) and low-dose (Lutonix) paclitaxel-coated balloon (PCB). Although a recent randomized clinical trial demonstrated no difference in efficacy endpoint between high- and low-dose PCB, it remains unclear whether high-dose PCB was superior to low-dose PCB in actual clinical practice. We enrolled 64 patients with 67 de novo femoropopliteal lesions who underwent PCB angioplasty at Kokura Memorial Hospital from May 2014 to March 2020 and subsequent follow-up angiography after 1 year. The primary endpoint was 1-year LLL, whereas the secondary endpoints were binary restenosis and clinically driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR) after 1 year. The high- and low-dose PCB groups had 45 and 22 lesions, respectively. Although the low-dose PCB group had higher rates of coronary artery disease, hemodialysis, and chronic limb-threatening ischemia than the high-dose PCB group, the latter had a longer lesion length and more lesions with a TASC classification C or D than the former. The high-dose PCB group had a significantly lower LLL than the low-dose PCB group (0.40 ± 1.05 vs. 1.19 ± 1.03 mm; P = 0.003, respectively). Moreover, the high-dose PCB group had significantly lower rates of binary restenosis at 1 year than the low-dose PCB group (22.2% vs. 50.0%; P = 0.02, respectively). Moreover, negative LLL was only observed in the high-dose PCB group (33.3% vs. 0%, P = 0.005). The high-dose PCB group had a significantly lower LLL than the low-dose PCB group.

Outcomes of Excimer Laser Ablation Combined with Drug-coated Balloon in Atherosclerotic Lesions of the Popliteal Artery. Ann Vasc Surg 2024; 104:196-204. [PMID: 38492729 DOI: 10.1016/j.avsg.2023.12.091] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Revised: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 03/18/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The treatment of atherosclerotic lesions in the popliteal artery is challenging. This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of excimer laser ablation (ELA) combined with drug-coated balloon (DCB) for these lesions. METHODS From June 2019 to December 2021, data of patients who underwent ELA combined with DCB in the popliteal artery were retrospectively reviewed. Demographics, lesion characteristics, periprocedural complications, and follow-up information were analyzed. The primary endpoint was primary patency. Secondary endpoints included major amputation-free survival rate, technical success, bailout stenting, clinically-driven target lesion reintervention, improvement of ankle-brachial index (ABI), and Rutherford class. RESULTS A total of 61 patients were enrolled. The mean age was 73.4 ± 11.7 years. 20 (32.8%) patients had stenotic lesions, while 41 (67.2%) patients had chronic total occlusions. The mean length of these lesions was 7.3 ± 2.8 cm. Procedure technical success rate was 95.1%. Bailout stent was performed in 3 (4.9%) patients. Intraprocedural distal embolization occurred in 3 (4.9%) patients, while flow limiting dissections occurred in 3 (4.9%) patients. The mean ABI was significantly improved from 0.45 ± 0.13 at baseline to 0.90 ± 0.12 after ELA, 0.88 ± 0.11 at 6 months and 0.85 ± 0.12 at 12 months during the follow-up period. The median follow-up time was 28.2 ± 6.1 months. Reintervention was performed in 5 (8.2%) patients. The 2-year primary patency was 83.5%. CONCLUSIONS ELA combined with DCB is a safe and effective strategy in the treatment of popliteal artery atherosclerotic lesions with low rates of bail-out stenting and high primary patency.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety and clinical outcomes of the Passeo-18 Lux drug-coated balloon (DCB) in endovascular revascularization procedures under real-world conditions in a Korean population with atherosclerotic disease of the infrainguinal arteries, including below-the-knee (BTK) arteries. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eight institutions in the Republic of Korea participated in this prospective, multicenter, single-arm, post-market surveillance study. Two hundred patients with Rutherford class 2-5 peripheral arterial disease and infrainguinal lesions suitable for endovascular treatment were competitively enrolled. Data were collected at baseline, the time of intervention, discharge, and 1-, 6-, 12-, and 24-month follow-up visits. The primary safety endpoint was freedom from major adverse events (MAE) within 6 months (except when limiting the time frame for procedure- or device-related mortality to within 30 days), and the primary effectiveness endpoint was freedom from clinically driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR) within 12 months after the procedure. RESULTS A total of 197 patients with 332 target lesions were analyzed. Two-thirds of the patients had diabetes mellitus, and 41.6% had chronic limb-threatening ischemia. The median target lesion length was 100 mm (interquartile range: 56-133 mm). Of the target lesions, 35.2% were occlusions, and 14.8% were located in the BTK arteries. Rate of freedom from MAE was 97.9% at 6 months, and the rate of freedom from CD-TLR was 95.0% and 92.2% at 12 and 24 months, respectively. Subgroup analysis of 43 patients and 49 target lesions involving the BTK arteries showed rate of freedom from MAE of 92.8% at 6 months and rates of freedom from CD-TLR of 88.8% and 84.4% at 12 and 24 months, respectively. CONCLUSION The results of the present study, including the BTK subgroup analysis, showed outcomes comparable to those of other DCB studies, confirming the safety and effectiveness of Passeo-18 Lux DCB in the Korean population.

Abstract
Drug-coated balloon (DCB) therapy is a promising endovascular treatment for obstructive arterial disease. The goal of DCB therapy is restoration of lumen patency in a stenotic vessel, whereby balloon deployment both mechanically compresses the offending lesion and locally delivers an antiproliferative drug, most commonly paclitaxel (PTX) or derivative compounds, to the arterial wall. Favorable long-term outcomes of DCB therapy thus require predictable and adequate PTX delivery, a process facilitated by coating excipients that promotes rapid drug transfer during the inflation period. While a variety of excipients have been considered in DCB design, there is a lack of understanding about the coating-specific biophysical determinants of essential device function, namely, acute drug transfer. We consider two hydrophilic excipients for PTX delivery, urea (UR) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), and examine how compositional and preparational variables in the balloon surface spray-coating process impact resultant coating microstructure and in turn acute PTX transfer to the arterial wall. Specifically, we use scanning electron image analyses to quantify how coating microstructure is altered by excipient solid content and balloon-to-nozzle spray distance during the coating procedure and correlate obtained microstructural descriptors of coating aggregation to the efficiency of acute PTX transfer in a one-dimensional ex vivo model of DCB deployment. Experimental results suggest that despite the qualitatively different coating surface microstructures and apparent PTX transfer mechanisms exhibited with these excipients, the drug delivery efficiency is generally enhanced by coating aggregation on the balloon surface. We illustrate this microstructure-function relation with a finite element-based computational model of DCB deployment, which along with our experimental findings suggests a general design principle to increase drug delivery efficiency across a broad range of DCB designs.

A registry-based study of paclitaxel drug-coated balloon angioplasty for the treatment of in-stent restenosis of the femoral-popliteal artery. J Vasc Surg 2024; 79:1142-1150.e2. [PMID: 38190927 DOI: 10.1016/j.jvs.2023.12.047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2023] [Revised: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 12/24/2023] [Indexed: 01/10/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to report the results of a prospective, single-arm, registry-based study assessing the safety and performance of a paclitaxel drug-coated balloon (DCB) for the treatment of superficial femoral artery (SFA) or popliteal artery in-stent restenosis (ISR) in a United States population. METHODS We conducted a prospective, non-randomized, multi-center, single-arm, post-market registry of the IN.PACT Admiral DCB for the treatment of ISR lesions in the SFA or popliteal artery at 43 sites within the Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) Registry from December 2016 to January 2020. Clinical outcomes were assessed at 12, 24, and 36 months. The primary endpoint was target lesion revascularization at 12 months. Secondary endpoints included technical success, target vessel revascularization, major limb amputation, and all-cause mortality. Results are presented as survival probabilities based on Kaplan-Meier survival estimates. RESULTS Patients (N = 300) were 58% male, with a mean age of 68 ± 10 years. Diabetes was present in 56%, 80% presented with claudication, and 20% with rest pain. Lesions included ISR of the SFA in 68%, SFA-popliteal in 26%, and popliteal arteries in 7%. The mean lesion length was 17.8 ± 11.8 cm. Lesions were categorized as occlusions in 43% (mean occluded length, 16 ± 10 cm). TASC type was A (17%), B (29%), C (38%), and D (15%). Technical success was 99%. Re-stenting was performed in 5% and thrombolysis in 0.6% of patients. Kaplan-Meier estimates for freedom from target lesion revascularization were 90%, 72%, and 62% at 12, 24, and 36 months. Freedom from target vessel revascularization was 88%, 68%, and 59% and freedom from major target limb amputation was 99.6%, 98.9%, and 98.9%, respectively, at 12, 24, and 36 months. Survival was 95%, 89%, and 85% at 12, 24, and 36 months. CONCLUSIONS This post-market registry-based study shows promising results in treating femoral-popliteal ISR with paclitaxel DCB in comparison to the results of plain balloon angioplasty reported in the literature. These results demonstrate the ability of the SVS VQI to conduct post-market evaluation of peripheral devices in partnership with industry and federal regulators.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are a major global health concern. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with new-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) has been endorsed as safe and effective in the management of culprit and non-culprit lesions of ACS. However, permanent metallic implants may have drawbacks, including the need for prolonged dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) and the risk of long-term stent-related complications. An alternative approach using drug-coated balloons (DCBs) is gaining growing interest, having the potential of delivering therapy directly to vulnerable plaques, avoiding the need for permanent metallic implants, and potentially allowing for better long-term medical treatment. Despite limited evidence, DCB is being explored in several patients' subgroups. This review aims to discuss the existing evidence regarding DCB in ACS management. RECENT FINDINGS DCB appears to be a promising strategy in the management of ACS, showing comparable angiographic and clinical results as compared to new-generation DES in relatively small clinical trials or large prospective registries. The advantage of avoiding permanent implants is particularly appealing in this setting, where DCB has the potential of delivering anti-atherogenic local therapy directly to vulnerable plaques still amenable to atherogenic regression. This review seeks to underline the theoretical background of DCB use and reports the available evidence in its support in the specific setting of ACS. In the context of ACS, the use of DCB is highly attractive, offering a dedicated anti-atherogenic local therapy, capable of addressing a broad range of vulnerable plaques and patients.

Abstract
Background: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a complex, heterogeneous condition that has become a leading health concern globally. Peripheral arterial disease often co-exists with other vascular disease states, including cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disease. Optimal therapy for managing symptoms and progression of disease employs non-pharmacological, pharmacological, and contemporary revascularisation techniques to improve clinical outcomes and quality of life. However, large well-designed randomised control trials (RCT) and corresponding evidence-based guidelines for management of PAD are lacking, with current practice standards often extrapolated from evidence in coronary artery disease.Purpose: This review article aims to discuss currently accepted best pharmacological practice for PAD.Method: Relevant articles were searched between May 2023 and January 2024 through PubMed, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar and international guidelines, focusing on pharmacological management for PAD.Results: This narrative review discusses holistic pharmacological treatments for PAD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Local Liquid drug (LLD) delivery devices have recently emerged as a novel approach to treat peripheral arterial disease. This systemic review aims to identify and evaluate the clinical utility of the most commonly used delivery devices. METHODS A systemic review was performed using the Medical Subjects Heading terms of "drug delivery," "liquid," "local," and "cardiovascular disease" in PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus. RESULTS Four commonly used delivery devices were identified, including (1) the Bullfrog Micro-Infusion Device, (2) the ClearWay RX Catheter, (3) the Occlusion Perfusion Catheter, and (4) the Targeted Adjustable Pharmaceutical Administration. All have shown to successfully deliver liquid therapeutic into the target lesion and have exhibited favorable safety and efficacy profiles in preclinical and clinical trials. The LLD devices have the ability to treat very long or multiple lesions with a single device, providing a more economical option. The safety profile in LLD clinical studies is also favorable in view of recent concerns regarding adverse events with crystalline-paclitaxel-coated devices. CONCLUSION There is clear clinical evidence to support the concept of local liquid delivery to treat occlusive arterial disease. CLINICAL IMPACT The 'leave nothing behind' strategy has been at the forefront of the most recent innovations in the field of interventional cardiology and vascular interventions. Although drug coated balloons have overcome limitations associated with plain old balloon angioplasty and peripheral stents, recent safety concerns and cost considerations have impacted their usage. In this review, various liquid drug delivery devices are presented, showcasing their capabilities and success in both preclinical and clinical settings. These innovative liquid delivery devices, capable of targeted delivery and their ability to be re-used for multiple treatment sites, may provide solutions for current unmet clinical needs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the mortality after treatment with a paclitaxel (PTX)-coated device and with uncoated devices of iliac, femoropopliteal, and below-the-knee lesions in dialysis patients. METHODS Retrospective mortality analysis of dialysis patients with peripheral artery disease who underwent treatment of iliac, femoropopliteal, and/or infrapopliteal lesions with PTX-coated or uncoated devices. RESULTS Between 2010 and 2018, 1125 dialysis patients were treated with iliac and/or femoropopliteal and/or infrapopliteal lesions. In all, 359 patients were selected for this retrospective analysis. Of those, 122 patients were treated with uncoated devices without crossover to a PTX-coated device during follow-up and 237 patients were treated with a PTX-coated device. Mean follow-up time was 27.38±24.76 months (range=0-103). For the entire cohort, the overall mortality was 95.1% after uncoated treatment and 75.9% after PTX treatment (p<0.001). After propensity score matching (n=119), overall mortality was 95.0% after uncoated treatment and 78.2% after PTX treatment (p<0.001). For the entire cohort, multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed age (p=0.002) and critical limb ischemia (p<0.001) as independent predictors for mortality. PTX treatment was a protective factor for mortality (p<0.001). CONCLUSION Mortality in dialysis patients is in general high and higher after use of uncoated devices compared with PTX-coated devices. Mortality predictors were risk factors and disease severity but not PTX treatment. CLINICAL IMPACT After the publication of Katsanos's metaanalyses, the uncertainty regarding PTX device safety in peripheral interventions in patients mainly without end-stage renal insufficiency was initially considerable. The present study for the first time investigates the potential long-term mortality risk of dialysis patients following PTX device treatment of PAD. In contrast to a recent meta-analysis, this real-world study could show a better survival after PTX treatment in comparison to uncoated devices.

Abstract
Drug-eluting stents (DES) and balloons revolutionize atherosclerosis treatment by targeting hyperplastic tissue responses through effective local drug delivery strategies. This review examines approved and emerging endovascular devices, discussing drug release mechanisms and their impacts on arterial drug distribution. It emphasizes the crucial role of drug delivery in modern cardiovascular care and highlights how device technologies influence vascular behavior based on lesion morphology. The future holds promise for lesion-specific treatments, particularly in the superficial femoral artery, with recent CE-marked devices showing encouraging results. Exciting strategies and new patents focus on local drug delivery to prevent restenosis, shaping the future of interventional outcomes. In summary, as we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of cardiovascular intervention, it becomes increasingly evident that the future lies in tailoring treatments to the specific characteristics of each lesion. By leveraging cutting-edge technologies and harnessing the potential of localized drug delivery, we stand poised to usher in a new era of precision medicine in vascular intervention.

Abstract
Drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty is one of the potential approaches to alleviating in-stent restenosis and treating peripheral artery disease. An in-silico model has been developed for sirolimus drug eluted from an inflated balloon in a patient-specific arterial cross-section consisting of fibrous tissue, fibrofatty tissue, dense calcium, necrotic core, and healthy tissue. The convection-diffusion-reaction equation represents the transport of drug, while drug binding, both specific and non-specific, can be modelled as a reaction process. The Brinkman equations describe the interstitial flow in porous tissue. An image processing technique is leveraged for reconstructing the computational domain. The Marker and Cell, and Immersed Boundary Methods are used to solve the set of governing equations. The no-flux interface condition and convection do amplify the tissue content, and the regions of dense calcium and necrotic core limited to or extremely close to the interface pose a clinical threat to DCB therapy. Simulations predict the effects of the positioning and clustering of plaque components in the domain. This study demands extensive intravascular ultrasound-derived virtual histology (VH-IVUS) imaging to understand the plaque morphology and determine the relative positions of different plaque compositions about the lumen-tissue interface, which have a significant impact on arterial pharmacokinetics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to compare the initial outcomes of using the Chocolate balloon pre-dilatation (CLP) and sequential enlarging angioplasty pre-dilatation (sequential balloon pre-dilation [SP]) techniques versus the conventional balloon pre-dilatation (CP) method prior to drug-coated balloon (DCB) treatment for femoropopliteal (FP) lesions. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from the CIVILIAN (Clinical InVestigation of different lesIon preparation modaLIty followed by DCB in femoropopliteal Artery occlusioN disease) registry. Between March 2021 and November 2022, 3 pre-dilation techniques used prior to the DCB angioplasty were included. The study endpoint included intraoperative finial severe dissection after provisional stent placement, bailout stenting rate, the diameter of the largest pre-dilation balloon and DCB, as well as major adverse events (MAEs), including death, major limb amputation, or target vessel revascularization at 6 months. RESULTS During the study period, 435 limbs (429 patients) were pre-dilated before DCB treatment in FP lesions, 166 limbs were pre-dilated with Chocolate balloons, 93 limbs with sequential enlarging balloon pre-dilation technique, and 176 limbs with CP. The largest pre-dilation balloon was significantly larger in CLP and SP groups than that in the CP group (CLP 4.74±0.52 mm vs CP 4.36±0.64 mm, p<0.001; SP 4.82±0.69 mm vs CP 4.36±0.63 mm, p<0.001). A consistent result was shown in DCB diameter (CLP 4.86±0.44 mm vs CP 4.71±0.51 mm, p=0.003; SP 4.90±0.58 mm vs CP 4.71±0.51 mm, p=0.006). The bailout stenting rate was significantly lower in the CLP group than that in the CP group (18.1% vs 30.1%, p=0.011). The rates of MAEs at 6 months in the CLP and SP groups were comparable to those in the CP group (7.2% and 8.6% vs 6.3%, p>0.05). The risk for intraoperative bailout stenting rate was related to TASC D classification (3.59, 95% CI: 1.83-7.05, p<0.001), chronic total occlusion (CTO) lesion (1.82, 95% CI: 1.07-3.10, p=0.028), as well as pre-dilated with the conventional balloon (1.64, 95% CI: 1.00-2.69, p=0.048). CONCLUSIONS By utilizing chocolate balloon and sequential enlarging angioplasty, it becomes possible to use larger pre-dilation balloons and DCBs. In addition, the use of the chocolate balloon can significantly reduce the need for bailout stenting when compared with conventional balloons. CLINICAL IMPACT The utilization of a chocolate balloon and sequential enlarging angioplasty has emerged as a promising technique for angioplasty procedures. This approach allows for the use of larger pre-dilation balloons and drug-coated balloons. The use of the chocolate balloon can significantly reduce the need for bail-out stenting when compared to conventional balloons. Further research is required to determine the impact of vessel preparation techniques on the primary patency.

Abstract
PURPOSE This follow-up study was designed as a reopen of the completed Freeway Stent Study and collected mortality and clinical outcome data for at least 5 years after enrollment to evaluate long-term patient safety and treatment efficacy. The primary study enrolled 204 patients with stenosis or occlusion in the superficial femoral artery and proximal popliteal artery. Patients were randomized to primary nitinol stenting followed by standard PTA or primary nitinol stenting followed by FREEWAY™ paclitaxel-eluting balloon PTA. METHODS Previous patients were recontacted by phone or during a routine hospital visit, and medical records were reviewed. Vital and clinical status information was collected. RESULTS No increased late mortality was observed at 5 years, with an all-cause mortality rate of 12.0% in the FREEWAY drug-eluting balloon group versus 15.0% in the non-paclitaxel PTA group. No accumulation of any cause of death was observed in either group, nor was there any correlation with the dose of paclitaxel used. Freedom from clinically driven target lesion revascularization at 5 years was significantly higher in the FREEWAY drug eluting balloon group (85.3%) compared to standard PTA group (72.7%) Log-rank p = 0.032. CONCLUSION The safety results presented support the recent conclusions that the use of paclitaxel technology does not lead to an increase in mortality. At the same time, the efficacy results clearly demonstrate that the potential benefits of drug-eluting balloon treatment are maintained over a 5-year period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the midterm clinical efficacy of paclitaxel drug-coated balloons (DCBs) in the treatment of femoral artery TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus (TASC) grades C/D lesions. METHODS The clinical data of 73 cases with TASC grades C/D lesions of femoral artery treated with paclitaxel DCBs at the Department of Vascular Surgery, the First Hospital of Fujian Medical University from August 2016 to January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The primary endpoint was the primary patency rate. The secondary endpoints were freedom from reintervention, Rutherford classification, ankle-brachial index (ABI), amputation events, and all-cause death. RESULTS A total of 73 cases of limb lesions received endoluminal treatment. The mean age of the patients including 49 males and 24 females was (72.66 ± 11.1) years, with an initial Rutherford classification of 2-5 and an ABI of 0.4 ± 0.1. The mean Rutherford classification was 3.70 ± 0.95. The mean lesion length was (25.75 ± 9.67) cm, including 61.64% chronic occlusive lesions and 27.39% stenotic lesions, the remaining 10.97% were mixed lesions, containing multiple segments of stenosis and chronic total occlusion lesions. 43.8% of the lesions were associated with severe calcification. Stent implantation rate was 8%. Overall mortality at follow-up was 4% at 1 year and 8% at 2 years, and no amputations seen. The ABI was 0.83 ± 0.07 at 1-year follow-up and 0.78 ± 0.05 at 2-year follow-up. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve predicted the 1-year phase I patency rate was 75.3% ± 5% and the 2-year patency rate was 63.3% ± 5.7%. Freedom from target lesion revascularization was 78.4 ± 4.9% at 1 year and 69.2% ± 3.6% at 2 years. Logistic regression analysis showed that diabetes mellitus, severe calcification, chronic renal insufficiency, and restenosis were the significant factors affecting the patency of target lesions. CONCLUSIONS Paclitaxel DCBs in the treatment of femoral artery with TASC grades C/D lesions can achieve relatively satisfactory midterm clinical safety and efficacy results, provided there is an acceptable result on completion angiogram.

METHODS consecutive patients with dysfunctional dialysis related to underlying efferent vein stenosis were included and randomized 1:1 to either APERTO-paclitaxel drug-coated balloon (study arm) or standard percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (control arm). Primary endpoint is time from treatment until dialysis access dysfunction according to standardized Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI)-guidelines and assessed by Kaplan-Meier survival curves and tested for significance with log-rank analysis. Secondary endpoints include device, technical, and clinical success of the index angioplasty procedure. RESULTS The study included 103 patients (n=51 study-group) with a de novo (n=33) dysfunctional native arteriovenous fistula (n=79) in the forearm (n=60). The majority of included patients were male with a mean age of 69.8 years, presenting with a dysfunctioning autologous arteriovenous fistula in the forearm. Device-related complications did not occur in any of the included patients. Functional hemodialysis access without need for re-intervention at 1 year after index procedure was found in n=10 (19.6%) and n=5 (9.6%) of patients treated with, respectively, paclitaxel drug-coated balloon and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (p=0.612). A nonsignificant benefit of paclitaxel drug-coated balloon (n=5; 25%) over percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (n=1; 11%) was found (p=0.953) in de novo lesions in autologous fistulas. CONCLUSION APERTO-paclitaxel drug-coated balloon is a safe balloon catheter to manage dysfunctional hemodialysis access; however, longer period of adequate hemodialysis circuit functioning after endovascular index stenosis treatment, using APERTO-paclitaxel drug-coated balloon versus percutaneous transluminal angioplasty could not be demonstrated. CLINICAL IMPACT APERTO-paclitaxel drug-coated balloon catheter is a safe device to manage dysfunctional hemodialysis access. Compared to conventional angioplasty balloon, the APERTO drug-coated balloon will not result in longer period of adequate hemodialysis circuit functioning. A non-significant benefit of APERTO drug-coated balloon was found in de novo lesions in autologous fistulas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Excessive proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are the main causes of restenosis (RS) in diabetic lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD). However, the relevant pathogenic mechanisms are poorly understood. METHODS In this study, we introduced a "two-step injury protocol" rat RS model, which started with the induction of atherosclerosis (AS) and was followed by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and immunohistochemistry staining were used to verify the form of RS. Two-step transfection was performed, with the first transfection of Lin28a followed by a second transfection of let-7c and let-7g, to explore the possible mechanism by which Lin28a exerted effects. 5-ethynyl-2΄-deoxyuridine (EdU) and Transwell assay were performed to evaluate the ability of proliferation and migration of VSMCs. Western blotting and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) were performed to detect the expression of Lin28a protein and let-7 family members. RESULTS Using a combination of in vitro and in vivo experiments, we discovered that let-7c, let-7g, and microRNA98 (miR98) were downstream targets of Lin28a. More importantly, decreased expression of let-7c/let-7g increased Lin28a, leading to further inhibition of let-7c/let-7g. We also found an increased level of let-7d in the RS pathological condition, suggesting that it may function as a protective regulator of the Lin28a/let-7 loop by inhibiting the proliferation and migration of VSMCs. CONCLUSION These findings indicated the presence of a double-negative feedback loop consisting of Lin28a and let-7c/let-7g, which may be responsible for the vicious behavior of VSMCs in RS.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare all-cause mortality and primary patency with drug-coated balloon angioplasty (DCBA) compared with plain balloon angioplasty (PBA) in people with hemodialysis-related stenosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched from November 1966 to February 2021 to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that assessed the use of DCBA versus PBA for stenosis in hemodialysis circuits. Data extracted from the articles were integrated to determine all-cause mortality, target lesion primary patency (TLPP), circuit access primary patency (CAPP), 30-day adverse events, and technical success for the two approaches. We performed meta-analysis on these results using a fixed-effects model to evaluate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) where I2 < 50% in a test for heterogeneity, or a random-effect model if otherwise. Sensitivity and subgroup analyses were also performed. RESULTS Sixteen RCTs of 1672 individuals were included in our meta-analysis, of which 839 individuals received DCBA and 833 received PBA. The pooled outcome showed no statistical difference between DCBA and PBA in all-cause mortality at 6 months (OR = 1.29, 95% CI = 0.72-2.32, p = 0.39, I2 = 4%), 12 months (OR = 1.02, 95% CI = 0.68-1.53, p = 0.91, I2 = 0%), and 24 months (OR = 1.50, 95% CI = 0.87-2.57, p = 0.15, I2 = 0%), 30-day adverse events (OR = 1.09, 95% CI = 0.30-3.98, p = 0.90, I2 = 66%), and technical success (OR = 0.18, 95% CI = 0.02-1.92, p = 0.16, I2 = 65%). The DCBA had significantly better outcomes versus PBA in TLPP at 6 months (OR = 2.37, 95% CI = 1.84-3.04, p < 0.001, I2 = 44%) and 12 months (OR = 1.77, 95% CI = 1.22-2.56, p = 0.002, I2 = 56%), and CAPP at 6 months (OR = 2.07, 95% CI = 1.21-3.54, p = 0.008, I2 = 67%) and 12 months (OR = 1.66, 95% CI = 1.29-2.15, p < 0.001, I2 = 0%). CONCLUSION In hemodialysis circuit stenosis, DCBA appears to have similar safety but greater efficacy than PBA.

Abstract
Introduction: In this study, we aimed to evaluate and compare whether perioperative additional intravenous (IV) Iloprost therapy to percutaneous balloon angioplasty for peripheral arterial occlusive disease improves patency and reintervention.Methods: Between January 2018 and August 2020, 183 patients underwent Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) with Drug-Eluting Balloons (DEB) for femoropopliteal lesions (TASC 2 A-C) due to claudication, and 161 patients (133 male, 28 female, mean age 63.65 ± 11.16 years, range 30-86 years) were included in this study. The patients were divided into two groups as DEB+ Intravenous Iloprost administration and DEB alone. Primary patency, reintervention, bailout stenting, and survival rates were analyzed in this retrospective study.Results: Primary patency rate at 12 months (79 vs 57 patients, 89.7 vs 78%, p = 0.041) and assisted primary patency rate (81 vs 59 patients, 92 vs 80.8%, p = 0.035) were found to be higher and Bailout stent deployment was lower in DEB + Iloprost group (3 vs 9 patients, 3.4 vs 12.3% p = 0.031). The reinterventions rate at 12 months was also lower among the DEB + Iloprost group (9 vs 16 patients, 10.2 vs 21.9%, p = 0.041).Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that primary patency at 12 months and assisted primary patency rates, freedom from reintervention was significantly higher and bailout stenting was found to be significantly lower. We believe that perioperative Intravenous Iloprost therapy is beneficial for PTA and improves outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the real-world safety of paclitaxel (PTX)-coated devices for treating lower extremity peripheral artery disease using a commercial claims database. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data from FAIR Health, the largest commercial claims data warehouse in the United States, were used for this study. The study consisted of patients who underwent femoropopliteal revascularization procedures between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2019, with PTX and non-PTX devices. The primary outcome was 4-year survival following treatment. The secondary outcomes included 2-year survival, 2- and 4-year freedom from amputation, and repeat revascularization. Propensity score matching was used to minimize confounding, and the Kaplan-Meier methods were used to estimate survival. RESULTS A total of 10,832 procedures were included in the analysis, including 4,962 involving PTX devices and 5,870 involving non-PTX devices. PTX devices were associated with a reduced hazard of death following treatment at 2 and 4 years (hazard ratio [HR], 0.74 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 0.69-0.79]; P <.05, and HR, 0.89 [95% CI, 0.77-1.02]; log-rank P =.018, respectively). The risk of amputation was also lower following treatment with PTX devices than with non-PTX devices at 2 and 4 years (HR, 0.82 [95% CI, 0.76-0.87]; P =.02, and HR, 0.77 [95% CI, 0.67-0.89]; log-rank P =.01, respectively). In addition, the odds of repeat revascularization were similar with PTX and non-PTX devices at 2 and 4 years. CONCLUSIONS In the real-world commercial claims database, no short- or long-term signal for increased mortality or amputations was observed following treatment with PTX devices.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Paclitaxel-coated balloon angioplasty has been established as the first-line therapy of femoropopliteal artery disease. The primary objectives of the study were to evaluate the performance and the safety of the GORE-DCB Catheter in the treatment of atherosclerotic femoropopliteal lesions of patients with peripheral artery disease for CE-Mark approval. METHODS Prospective, single-arm, multicenter study with 24 months follow-up. The GORE-DCB Catheter consists of a drug-coated nylon (inner layer)/ePTFE (outer layer) composite balloon. The ePTFE layer is coated with paclitaxel (concentration: 3.5μg/mm2), and the excipients stearic acid/tromethamine (tris). The primary endpoints were 6-month late lumen loss (LLL) and 30-day of freedom from Major Adverse Events (MAE). RESULTS Fifty-two subjects were enrolled, 69% men, median age 69 (49-83) years. Acute device success was 100%, the 30-day MAE rate was zero. Study primary endpoint of LLL (-0.17 mm) showed significant superiority compared to the performance goal of uncoated PTA balloon catheters from literature. At 1 and 2 years primary patency rates were 81.8% and 68.7%, respectively, and freedom from clinical driven target lesion revascularization rates were 87.9% and 83.4%, respectively. CONCLUSION The study demonstrates that the treatment of lesions in femoropopliteal arteries with the GORE-DCB Catheter is safe and effective.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long-term data on drug-coated balloon (DCB) outcomes in complex femoropopliteal atherosclerotic lesions are limited. OBJECTIVES The authors sought to report 5-year safety and effectiveness outcomes of a paclitaxel DCB for the treatment of de novo in-stent restenosis (ISR), long lesions (LL), or chronic total occlusions (CTOs) in the prespecified imaging cohorts of the IN.PACT Global Study. METHODS The IN.PACT Global study was a prospective, international single-arm study. Assessments through 5 years included freedom from clinically driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR), a safety composite (freedom from device- and procedure-related death to 30 days, and freedom from major target limb amputation and freedom from clinically driven target vessel revascularization within 60 months), and major adverse events. RESULTS The prespecified imaging cohorts enrolled 132 de novo ISR, 158 LL, and 127 CTO participants. Kaplan-Meier estimates of freedom from CD-TLR through 5 years were 58.0% (ISR), 67.3% (LL), and 69.8% (CTO). The cumulative incidences of the composite safety endpoint were 56.0% (ISR), 65.7% (LL), and 69.8% (CTO). The 5-year freedom from all-cause mortality with vital status update were 81.4% (ISR), 75.2% (LL), and 78.2% (CTO). Within the ISR cohort, 15.9% of participants experienced 2 or more TLRs, compared with 9.5% and 5.5% in the LL and CTO groups, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Results demonstrate long-term safety and effectiveness of this DCB in all 3 cohorts, with low reintervention rates in the LL and CTO cohorts and no safety issues. These results support the inclusion of this DCB into the treatment algorithm for complex femoropopliteal disease.

Abstract
Patients with medically refractory non-acute intracranial artery occlusion (ICAO) are difficult to treat. The optimal intervention for these patients is not known. We evaluated the feasibility and safety of drug-coated balloon (DCB) treatment for non-acute ICAO. Consecutive patients with symptomatic medically refractory atherosclerotic non-acute ICAO from January 2015 to July 2021 who underwent DCB treatment were retrospectively analyzed. The rates of stroke, transient ischemic attack, and death within 30 days and the follow-up results were evaluated. A total of 148 patients were enrolled in this study. The 30-day rate of stroke, transient ischemic attack, and death was 8.8%. During the 25.8 ± 15.8-month clinical follow-up period, the rate of outcome beyond 30 days was 4.7%. In the 66 patients with vessel imaging follow-up, 13.6% (9/66) had restenosis. The present study suggests that DCB dilatation is a feasible and effective alternative in carefully selected patients with symptomatic non-acute ICAO.

[PMID: 36454300 DOI: 10.1007/s00380-022-02201-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2022] [Accepted: 11/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022]
Abstract
Although the superiority of DCBs to uncoated balloon angioplasty for the treatment of femoropopliteal (FP) lesions has been demonstrated, the association of clinical factors, including anatomical features evaluated by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and platelet reactivity, with the loss of patency has not been systematically studied. The current prospective, observational study enrolled 160 consecutive patients (male 67.5%, mean age 74.7 ± 9.7 years) with 213 FP lesions treated with DCBs under IVUS evaluation. The platelet reactivity was measured in P2Y12 reaction units for all of the patients at the DCB treatment. The primary end point was primary patency at 12 months, while the secondary end points were freedom from target lesion revascularization (TLR), all-cause death, major target limb amputation and bleeding events at 12 months. Mean lesion length was 11.9 ± 9.4 cm and 34 (16.0%) were chronic total occlusions (CTOs). Thirty-four (16.0%) were severely calcified lesions. Primary patency by Kaplan-Meier estimate was 79.2% at 12 months, while the 12-month freedom from TLR, all-cause death and bleeding events were observed in 89.1%, 93.4% and 97.4%, respectively. There were no major target limb amputations through 12 months. Multivariate analysis showed that subintimal angioplasty for CTO lesions was a sole risk factor for loss of 12-month primary patency, while other IVUS parameters and platelet reactivity were not.

Abstract
Background: Dysfunction in arteriovenous (AV) access is a common reason for subsequent intervention. To evaluate the results of endovascular treatment of AV access lesions using cutting balloon (CB) and drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty compared to standard treatment using plain-old balloon angioplasty (POBA). Patients and methods: Patients who retrospectively were selected from a prospectively maintained database. Primary endpoint was primary patency rate at the target lesion up to 12 months after index procedure. Secondary endpoints were the acute treatment success, the "bail out" stent rate, primary patency at 6 months, freedom from target lesion revascularization (TLR), AV access replacement and surgical revision during a follow-up period up to 12 months, and all-cause mortality rate stratified to patients treated with and without DCB. Results: One hundred and eighty-four patients met the inclusion criteria. POBA as stand alone or combined with DCB angioplasty was performed in 71 patients (38.6%), CB in 54 patients (29.3%), and in 59 patients (32.1%), both CB and DCB were used. Primary patency rate at 12 months was 31.6% for the POBA/DCB-group, 52.3% for the CB-group, and 64.8% for the CB/DCB-group, respectively. In total, 80 patients (51.6%) had a TLR including endovascular or surgical revision, or a shunt replacement. All-cause mortality at 12 months was 7.2% in the DCB group and 9.1% in the group of patients treated without a DCB (p=0.747). Conclusions: The use of CB seems to be crucial for a better outcome. The combination of CB and DCB achieves the best patency results at mid-term.

Abstract
AIMS Optimal endovascular management of intermittent claudication (IC) remains disputed. This systematic review and meta-analysis compares efficacy and safety outcomes for balloon angioplasty (BA), bare-metal stents (BMS), drug-coated balloons (DCB), drug-eluting stents (DES), covered stents, and atherectomy. METHODS AND RESULTS Electronic databases were searched for randomized, controlled trials (RCT) from inception through November 2021. Efficacy outcomes were primary patency, target-lesion revascularization (TLR), and quality-of-life (QoL). Safety endpoints were all-cause mortality and major amputation. Outcomes were evaluated at short-term (<1 year), mid-term (1-2 years), and long-term (≥2 years) follow-up. The study was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42021292639). Fifty-one RCTs enrolling 8430 patients/lesions were included. In femoropopliteal disease of low-to-intermediate complexity, DCBs were associated with higher likelihood of primary patency [short-term: odds ratio (OR) 3.21, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.44-4.24; long-term: OR 2.47, 95% CI 1.93-3.16], lower TLR (short-term: OR 0.33, 95% CI 0.22-0.49; long-term: OR 0.42, 95% CI 0.29-0.60) and similar all-cause mortality risk, compared with BA. Primary stenting using BMS was associated with improved short-to-mid-term patency and TLR, but similar long-term efficacy compared with provisional stenting. Mid-term patency (OR 1.64, 95% CI 0.89-3.03) and TLR (OR 0.50, 95% CI 0.22-1.11) estimates were comparable for DES vs. BMS. Atherectomy, used independently or adjunctively, was not associated with efficacy benefits compared with drug-coated and uncoated angioplasty, or stenting approaches. Paucity and heterogeneity of data precluded pooled analysis for aortoiliac disease and QoL endpoints. CONCLUSION Certain devices may provide benefits in femoropopliteal disease, but comparative data in aortoiliac arteries is lacking. Gaps in evidence quantity and quality impede identification of the optimal endovascular approach to IC.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to develop and internally validate nomograms for predicting restenosis after endovascular treatment of lower extremity arterial diseases. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 181 hospitalized patients with lower extremity arterial disease diagnosed for the first time between 2018 and 2019 were retrospectively collected. Patients were randomly divided into a primary cohort (n=127) and a validation cohort (n=54) at a ratio of 7:3. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was used to optimize the feature selection of the prediction model. Combined with the best characteristics of LASSO regression, the prediction model was established by multivariate Cox regression analysis. The predictive models' identification, calibration, and clinical practicability were evaluated by the C index, calibration curve, and decision curve. The prognosis of patients with different grades was compared by survival analysis. Internal validation of the model used data from the validation cohort. RESULTS The predictive factors included in the nomogram were lesion site, use of antiplatelet drugs, application of drug coating technology, calibration, coronary heart disease, and international normalized ratio (INR). The prediction model demonstrated good calibration ability, and the C index was 0.762 (95% confidence interval: 0.691-0.823). The C index of the validation cohort was 0.864 (95% confidence interval: 0.801-0.927), which also showed good calibration ability. The decision curve shows that when the threshold probability of the prediction model is more significant than 2.5%, the patients benefit significantly from our prediction model, and the maximum net benefit rate is 30.9%. Patients were graded according to the nomogram. Survival analysis found that there was a significant difference in the postoperative primary patency rate between patients of different classifications (log-rank p<0.001) in both the primary cohort and the validation cohort. CONCLUSION We developed a nomogram to predict the risk of target vessel restenosis after endovascular treatment by considering information on lesion site, postoperative antiplatelet drugs, calcification, coronary heart disease, drug coating technology, and INR. CLINICAL IMPACT Clinicians can grade patients after endovascular procedure according to the scores of the nomograms and apply intervention measures of different intensities for people at different risk levels. During the follow-up process, an individualized follow-up plan can be further formulated according to the risk classification. Identifying and analyzing risk factors is essential for making appropriate clinical decisions to prevent restenosis.

Abstract
Paclitaxel drug-coated balloons (DCBs) have been shown to improve patency and lower revascularization rates compared with plain old balloon angioplasty. DCBs continue to evolve by improving balloon-coating techniques that minimize the quantity of particles washed off into the bloodstream while maximizing drug retention and vascular-healing profile. Against this backdrop, it is clear that the future of antiproliferatives for the superficial femoral artery will focus on enhancements in device coating materials that will improve the efficiency of drug delivery. The Ranger DCB system recently gained US FDA approval for use. This review discusses the background of DCBs and how the Ranger DCB builds on these previous platforms based on experimental and clinical data.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this trial was to assess the safety and effectiveness of a paclitaxel-coated balloon catheter in Chinese patients with de novo or nonstented restenotic femoropopliteal atherosclerotic lesions. METHODS BIOLUX P-IV China is a prospective, independently adjudicated, multicenter, single-arm trial conducted in China. Patients with Rutherford class 2-4 were eligible, excluded were patients in which predilation resulted in severe (≥ grade D) flow-limiting dissection or residual stenosis > 70%. Follow-up assessments were conducted at 1, 6, and 12 months. The primary safety end point was 30-day major adverse event rate and the primary effectiveness end point was primary patency at 12 months. RESULTS We enrolled 158 patients with 158 lesions. Mean age was 67.6 ± 9.6 years, diabetes was present in 53.8% (n = 85), and previous peripheral intervention/surgeries in 17.1% (n = 27). Lesions were 4.1 ± 0.9 mm in diameter and 74 ± 50 mm long with a mean diameter stenosis of 91 ± 13%; 58.2% (n = 92) were occluded (core laboratory analysis). Device success was achieved in all patients. The rate of major adverse events was 0.6% (95% confidence interval: 0.0; 3.5) at 30 days, consisting of 1 target lesion revascularization. At 12 months, binary restenosis was present in 18.7% (n = 26) and target lesion revascularization was performed in 1.4% (n = 2, all clinically driven), resulting in a primary patency of 80.0% (95% confidence interval: 72.4, 85.8); no major target limb amputation occurred. Clinical improvement at 12 months, defined as improvement of at least 1 Rutherford class, was 95.3% (n = 130). The median walking distance per 6-minute walk test was 279 m at baseline and improved by 50 m at 30 days and by 60 m at 12 months; the visual analogue scale changed from 76.6 ± 15.6 at baseline to 80.0 ± 15.0 at 30 days and 78.6 ± 14.6 at 12 months. CONCLUSIONS Our results confirmed the clinical effectiveness and safety of a paclitaxel-coated peripheral balloon dilatation catheter for the treatment of de novo and nonstented restenotic lesion of the superficial femoral and proximal popliteal artery in Chinese patients (NCT02912715).

Abstract
Balloon angioplasty with/without utilizing drug eluting technology or stenting constitutes the treatment of choice for a significant percentage of patients with peripheral artery disease requiring an intervention. However, in cases of diffuse disease and plaque complexity, angioplasty may lead to dissection, recoil, and/or early restenosis, making vessel preparation a key component for successful and durable endovascular revascularization outcome. This review of literature aims to present contemporary data for several commercially available specialty balloons that have been designed to minimize the arterial wall stress of conventional balloon angioplasty and facilitate technical success, as well as long-term patency.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The study aimed to assess the 24-month safety and effectiveness of a new generation drug-coated balloon (DCB) (Elutax; AR Baltic Medical, Vilnius Lithuania-also marketed as Emperor in some European countries; Aachen Resonance, Germany, and AB Medica, Italy) for the treatment of patients with femoropopliteal lesions. METHODS From January 2019 to January 2020, DCB angioplasties using Elutax were performed on 53 consecutive patients (53 limbs) with femoropopliteal lesions (group A) and compared with a noncontemporary control group (group B) consisting of 71 patients (71 limbs) treated with plain old balloon angioplasty (POBA) between January 2017 and January 2018. Before performing the angioplasty, both groups underwent clinical examination, ultrasound evaluation, and computed tomography angiography to delineate subject clinical and baseline lesion characteristics. Primary end point was primary patency rate at 24 months. Secondary end points included clinically driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR), overall survival and limb salvage rates. RESULTS In both groups technical success rate was 100% with bailout stenting performed in 16.9% (9/53) of lesions in group A, while stenting was necessary in 22.5% of lesions (16/71) in group B. Patients treated with Elutax exhibited lower 24-month restenosis/reocclusion rate and improved primary patency compared to those treated with POBA (restenosis/reocclusion rate: 9.4% vs. 25.3%, CI 95% 0.01-0.30, P = 0.034; primary patency: 88.2% vs. 71.5%, log rank P = 0.03). Twenty-four-month CD-TLR rate was 7.5% for DCB versus 18.3% for POBA. No device or procedure-related deaths occurred, and no 30-day mortality was observed in either group. During the follow-up period, the limb salvage rate was 94.9% for A group and 92.1% for B group. All minor amputations occurred in limbs presented with chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI). Overall survival was 91.7% for group A and 89.4% for group B. CONCLUSIONS Paclitaxel + Dextran DCB angioplasty proved safe and effective in managing chronic lesions of femoropopliteal arteries. Our experience has shown superior primary patency rate for Elutax when compared to POBA.

Abstract
PURPOSE There is a lack of adjudicated and prospectively randomized published outcomes on the use of drug-coated balloons (DCB) to treat dysfunctional arteriovenous fistula in Asian patients. This post hoc subgroup analysis of 112 Japanese participants from the global IN.PACT AV Access trial reports outcomes through 12 months. MATERIALS AND METHODS Participants were treated with DCB (n = 58) or standard non-coated percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) balloons (n = 54). Outcomes included target lesion primary patency (TLPP), access circuit primary patency, and safety. RESULTS Through 6 months, TLPP was 86.0% (49/57) in the DCB group and 49.1% (26/53) in the PTA group (p < 0.001). Through 12 months, TLPP was 67.3% (37/55) in the DCB group and 43.4% (23/53) in the PTA group (p = 0.013). CONCLUSION In this post hoc analysis of Japanese participants from the IN.PACT AV Access trial, participants treated with DCB had higher TLPP through 6 and 12 months compared with PTA.

Abstract
Drug-coated balloon (DCB) percutaneous interventional therapy allows for durable reopening of the narrowed lumen via physical tissue expansion and local anti-restenosis drug delivery, providing an alternative to traditional uncoated balloons or a permanent indwelling implant such as a conventional metallic drug-eluting stent. While DCB-based treatment of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) has been incorporated into clinical guidelines, DCB use has been recently curtailed due to reports that showed evidence of increased mortality risk in patients treated with paclitaxel (PTX)-coated balloons. Given the United States Food and Drug Administration's 2019 consequent warning regarding PTX-eluting DCBs and the subsequent marked reduction in clinical DCB use, there is now a critical need to better understand the compositional and mechanical factors underlying DCB efficacy and safety. Most work to date on DCB refinement has focused on designing both the enabling balloon catheter and alternate coatings composed of various drugs and excipients, followed by device evaluation in preclinical and clinical studies. We contend that improvement in DCB performance will require a better understanding of the biophysical factors operative during and following balloon deployment, and moreover that the elaboration and demonstrated control of these factors are needed to address current concerns with DCB use. This article provides a perspective on the biophysical interactions that govern DCB performance and offers new design strategies for the development of next-generation DCB devices.

Drug-Coated Balloon versus Plain Balloon Angioplasty in the Treatment of Infrainguinal Vein Bypass Stenosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. J Clin Med 2022; 12:jcm12010087. [PMID: 36614884 PMCID: PMC9821647 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12010087] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2022] [Revised: 12/10/2022] [Accepted: 12/19/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
The optimal endovascular therapy for vein graft stenosis (VGS) following infrainguinal arterial bypass is yet to be established. Drug-coated balloons (DCB) have rapidly improved the inferior patency outcomes of angioplasty using a conventional plain balloon (PB). This study compares the efficacy of DCBs and PBs for the treatment of infrainguinal VGS. This systematic review and meta-analysis was performed according to the PRISMA statement. Multiple electronic searches were conducted in consultation with a health science librarian in September 2022. Studies describing the comparative outcomes of angioplasty using DCBs and PBs in the treatment of infrainguinal VGS were eligible. Datasets from one randomized controlled trial and two cohort studies with a total of 179 patients were identified. The results indicated no significant difference in target lesion revascularization between DCBs and PBs (OR, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.32-1.28; p = 0.21), with no significant heterogeneity between studies. Additionally, differences in primary patency, assisted primary patency, secondary patency, and graft occlusion were not significant. Subgroup analysis showed similar effects for different DCB devices. In conclusion, DCBs showed no significant benefit in the treatment of VGS compared to PBs. Given the small population size of this meta-analysis, future trials with a larger population are desired.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials have suggested an increased long-term mortality risk following femoropopliteal and infrapopliteal angioplasty using paclitaxel-coated devices. This study was conducted to evaluate long-term mortality after paclitaxel drug-coated balloon (DCB) and plain old balloon angioplasty (POBA) of infrapopliteal lesions in real-world practice. METHODS A retrospective mortality analysis of patients with at least 3 years of follow-up who underwent balloon-based endovascular therapy of infrapopliteal lesions was performed. RESULTS Overall, 2,424 patients with infrapopliteal lesions were treated within the study period. Five hundred seventy-six patients fulfilled the study criteria. Of those, 269 patients were treated with uncoated devices without crossover to a paclitaxel-coated device during follow-up and 307 patients with DCB angioplasty. Mean (SD) follow-up was 46.48 (32.77) months. The mortality rate was 66.9% after POBA and 46.9% after DCB (P < .001). In the matched-pair cohort, 164 patients died after uncoated treatment (66.7%), and 119 in the DCB group died (48.4%; P < .001). There was no correlation between DCB length and mortality rate (P = .357). For the entire cohort, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed type of treatment (uncoated device vs DCB; P = .002), age (P < .001), stroke (P = .005), renal insufficiency (P = .014), and critical limb ischemia (P = .001) to be independent predictors of all-cause mortality. There was no significant difference in mortality among the paclitaxel exposure groups. CONCLUSION In this real-world retrospective analysis, the long-term mortality rate was lower after DCB angioplasty than after POBA of infrapopliteal lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have demonstrated the superiority of paclitaxel drug-coated balloons (DCBs) over non-coated angioplasty balloons for treatment of femoropopliteal peripheral arterial disease (PAD). There is a paucity of clinical evidence in more complex patients who are often excluded from RCTs and long-term data up to 5 years are very limited in PAD revascularisation studies. AIMS This is a report of the 5-year outcomes from the prospective, single-arm, international IN.PACT Global Study. The IN.PACT Admiral DCB was evaluated for femoropopliteal atherosclerotic disease treatment in a real-world patient population. METHODS In total, 1,535 patients were enrolled at 64 international sites. The prespecified clinical cohort included 1,406 patients with claudication or rest pain. Patients were evaluated up to 5 years for the occurrence of adverse events and clinically driven target lesion revascularisations (CD-TLR). RESULTS The mean lesion length was 12.1±9.5 cm in 1,774 lesions, 18.0% had in-stent restenosis, 35.5% were total occlusions and 68.7% were calcified. Per independent clinical events committee adjudication, the Kaplan-Meier estimate of freedom from CD-TLR up to 5 years was 69.4%, and the restricted mean survival time to first CD-TLR was 1,470.1 days. Outcomes were similar for males and females; freedom from CD-TLR was 69.1% in females and 69.6% in males (p=0.602). The cumulative incidence of major adverse events for the clinical cohort was 45.9% and freedom from all-cause mortality with the vital status update was 78.9% up to 5 years. CONCLUSIONS The IN.PACT Admiral DCB demonstrated safe and durable outcomes in real-world participants with complex femoropopliteal disease. CLINICALTRIALS gov: NCT01609296.

Abstract
Summary: Background: Endothelial dysfunction defines outcomes and serves as a surrogate parameter for the progression of cardiovascular disease. For symptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD) endovascular treatment is the primary revascularization strategy, which affects endothelial function. Interventional mechanical atherothrombectomy (MATH) provides advantages when treating complex atherosclerotic and thrombotic lesions. We now aimed to determine the impact and mechanisms of MATH on endothelial function. Patients and methods: Endothelial function was determined using flow-mediated dilation (FMD) before and after lower limb intervention with a six-month follow-up in the target and control vessel in 15 PAD MATH+DCB treated patients and compared to 15 non-Math controls. In a further cohort of 20 patients the impact of MATH and DCB on vascular structure and virtual histology was assessed through intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and compared to DCB treatment alone. Results: Improved endothelial function after 6 months was observed in both groups for the target and nontarget vessel. When comparing the changes from baseline endothelial function, treatment with MATH+DCB was superior to DCB treatment in the target vessel. IVUS revealed a greater improvement in luminal area and plaque burden reduction after MATH treatment. Virtual histology disclosed MATH-associated changes in plaque composition evidenced by alterations in fibrous volume and reductions in superficial calcium. Conclusions: We demonstrate an improved endothelial function after MATH treatment as compared to DCB treatment. The improved vessel function is evidenced by MATH-related plaque burden reduction, improved luminal gain and a decrease in superficial calcification. Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT04092972.

Abstract
PURPOSE There is a little datum about the impact of paclitaxel dosage in patients undergoing drug-coated balloons (DCB) in endovascular therapy (EVT) for femoropopliteal lesions. In the current study, the authors sought to compare the clinical outcomes of low-dose (LD) and high-dose (HD) paclitaxel DCBs for patients undergoing EVT for femoropopliteal lesions in a real-world setting. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study population was derived from a multicenter registry named "Evaluation of clinical outcome after endovascular therapy for femoropopliteal artery disease in Kanagawa" (LANDMARK registry). This registry consists of patients from 5 hospitals in Kanagawa, Japan. Overall, 1,378 patients with 1,777 lesions received treatment between July 2017 and June 2020. Among these, DCB angioplasty was performed in 477 patients (516 lesions). Propensity score matching analysis was performed to compare the clinical outcomes of LD-DCB (Lutonix; Becton Dickinson and Company, Franklin Lakes, New Jersey) and HD-DCB (IN.PACT Admiral; Medtronic Vascular, Santa Clara, CA, USA). RESULTS A total of 160 matched pairs of lesions were analyzed. Primary patency and freedom from target lesion revascularization at 2 years were similar between the two groups (LD-DCB vs. HD-DCB: 72% vs. 70%, p = 0.53; and 75% vs. 73%, p = 0.59, respectively). CONCLUSION No significant differences were found in the clinical outcomes between LD-DCB and HD-DCB angioplasty for femoropopliteal lesions. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 3.

Abstract
Background Clinical benefit of paclitaxel-coated devices for patients with peripheral arterial disease has been confirmed in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). A meta-analysis published in 2018 identified late mortality risk over a long follow-up period due to use of paclitaxel-coated devices in the femoropopliteal arteries, which caused enormous controversy and debates globally. This study aims to further evaluate the safety of paclitaxel-coated devices by incorporating the most recently published data. Methods We searched for candidate studies in PubMed (MEDLINE), Scopus, EMBASE (Ovid) online databases, government web archives and international cardiovascular conferences. Safety endpoints of interest included all-cause mortality rates at one, two and five years and the risk ratio (RR) was used as the summary measure. The primary analysis was performed using random-effects models to account for potential clinical heterogeneity. Findings Thirty-nine RCTs including 9164 patients were identified. At one year, the random-effects model yielded a pooled RR of 1.06 (95% CI [0.87, 1.29]) indicating no difference in short-term all-cause deaths between the paclitaxel and control groups (crude mortality, 4.3%, 214/5025 versus 4.5%, 177/3965). Two-year mortality was reported in 26 RCTs with 382 deaths out of 3788 patients (10.1%) in the paclitaxel arm and 299 out of 2955 patients (10.1%) in the control arm and no association was found between increased risk of death and usage of paclitaxel-coated devices (RR 1.08, 95% CI [0.93, 1.25]). Eight RCTs recorded all-cause deaths up to five years and a pooled RR of 1.18 (95% CI [0.92, 1.51]) demonstrated no late mortality risk due to use of paclitaxel-coated devices (crude mortality, paclitaxel 18.2%, 247/1360 versus control 15.2%, 122/805). Conclusions We found no significant difference in either short- or long-term all-cause mortalities between patients receiving paclitaxel-coated and uncoated devices. Further research on the longer-term safety of paclitaxel usage (e.g., 8- or 10-year) is warranted. Registration PROSPERO, CRD42021246291.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
Clinical data indicate that the drug density on drug-coated balloons (DCBs) might have a role on treatment effect and durability. The aim of the current study was to investigate inhibition of neointimal formation and potential adverse effects after treatment with a novel double-dose DCB in swine.
Material and methods
A four-week study was performed in peripheral arteries of 12 domestic pigs after vessel injury and stent implantation. The novel double-dose DCB with 6-µg paclitaxel (Ptx)/mm2 balloon surface (1 × 6) was compared to a standard DCB with 3.5 µg Ptx/mm2 (3.5) and uncoated balloons (POBA). Potential adverse effects were stimulated by using three fully overlapping DCBs with 6 µg Ptx/mm2 each (3 × 6). Quantitative angiography, histomorphometry and histopathological analyses were performed.
Results
Higher paclitaxel doses per square millimeter of treated arteries were associated with reduced late lumen loss (LLL) in quantitative angiography 4 weeks after treatment (POBA: 0.91 ± 0.75 mm; 3.5: 0.45 ± 0.53 mm; 1 × 6: 0.21 ± 0.41 mm; 3 × 6: − 0.38 ± 0.65 mm). In histomorphometry, maximal neointimal thickness and neointimal area were the lowest for the 1 × 6 group (0.15 ± 0.06 mm/1.5 ± 0.4 mm2), followed by 3 × 6 (0.20 ± 0.07 mm/1.8 ± 0.4 mm2), 3.5 (0.22 ± 0.12 mm/2.2 ± 1.1 mm2) and POBA (0.30 ± 0.07 mm/3.2 ± 0.7 mm2). Downstream tissue showed histopathological changes in all groups including POBA, in larger number and different quality (e.g., edema, inflammation, vessel wall necrosis, vasculitis and perivasculitis) in the 3 × 6 group, which did not cause clinical or functional abnormalities throughout the study.
Conclusion
Treatment with the double-dose DCB (6 µg Ptx/mm2) tended to increase inhibition of in-stent neointimal formation and to diminish LLL after peripheral intervention in the porcine model compared to a market-approved DCB with 3.5 µg Ptx/mm2.

Abstract
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a systemic vascular disease of the legs that results in a blockage of blood flow from the heart to the lower extremities. Now one of the most common causes of mortality in the U.S., the first line of therapy for PAD is to mechanically open the blockages using balloon angioplasty. Coating the balloons with antiproliferative agents can potentially reduce vessel re-narrowing, or restenosis after surgical intervention, but current drug-coated balloons releasing chemotherapy agents like paclitaxel have in some cases shown increased mortality long-term. Our aim was to design a novel drug-coated balloon using a polymeric nanodelivery system for a sustained release of polyphenols that reduce restenosis but with reduced toxicity compared to chemotherapy agents. Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles with entrapped quercetin, a dimethoxy quercetin (rhamnazin), as well as quercetin covalently attached to PLGA, were developed. Balloon catheters were coated with polymeric nanoparticles using an ultrasonic method, and nanoparticle characteristics, drug loading, coating uniformity and drug release were determined. The adhesion of nanoparticles to vascular smooth muscle cells and the antiproliferative effect of nano-delivered polyphenols were also assessed. Of the nanoparticle systems tested, those with covalently attached quercetin provided the most sustained release over a 6-day period. Although these particles adhered to cells to a smaller extent compared to other nanoparticle formulations, their attachment was resistant to washing. These particles also exhibited the greatest anti-proliferative effect. In addition, their attachment was not altered when the cells were grown in calcifying conditions, and in PAD tissue calcification is typically a condition that impedes drug delivery. Moreover, the ultrasonic coating method generated a uniform balloon coating. The polymeric nanoparticle system with covalently attached quercetin developed herein is thus proposed as a promising platform to reduce restenosis post-angioplasty.

Abstract
<b>Introduction:</b> The anatomical location of the popliteal artery is one of the greatest challenges for percutaneous interventions. The biomechanical attributes of the vessel lead to higher rates of restenosis, stent fracture, and occlusion. Some surgeons consider the popliteal artery as a no stenting zone. Many specialists favor percutaneous transluminal angioplasty to be the first line of endovascular treatment in the popliteal artery with bail-out stent implantation if the results are suboptimal. The Supera peripheral stent system is a novel stent that has been manufactured with a high degree of flexibility and supposedly might be appropriate for implantation in the popliteal artery. </br></br> <b>Aim:</b> Evaluation of the performance of Supera stent in isolated popliteal artery disease in comparison to other methods of treatment. </br></br> <b>Methods:</b> As many as 92 articles were found in the databases and after full-text review, 4 studies matched the inclusion criteria and were evaluated. </br></br> <b>Results:</b> Primary patency rates of Supera implantation in an isolated popliteal artery at 12 months ranged from 68% to 90%. In all four studies, no stent fractures were observed. Only one study provided longer follow-up than 12 months and evaluated the performance of the Supera stent 36 months after implantation. </br></br> <b>Conclusion:</b> In conclusion, mentioned studies show promising and superior to other stent patency rates of the Supera stent regarding popliteal artery lesions. What is more, no stent fracture is promising regarding longer follow-up. However, more studies with longer follow-ups and direct comparison to other methods are required to fully evaluate Supera's performance in the popliteal artery.

Excimer laser ablation combined with drug-coated balloon versus drug-coated balloon in the treatment of de novo atherosclerotic lesions in lower extremities (ELABORATE): study protocol for a real-world clinical trial. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2022; 22:317. [PMID: 35842583 PMCID: PMC9287897 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-022-02751-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2022] [Accepted: 07/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The efficacy and validity of excimer laser ablation (ELA) in the in-stent restenosis (ISR) has been confirmed. However, its application in de novo atherosclerotic lesions of lower extremity artery disease (LEAD) has not been clearly defined and its procedure has not been standardized. Methods ELABORATE is a prospective, multicenter, real-world study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety between ELA combined with drug-coated balloon (DCB) and DCB alone in de novo atherosclerotic lesions of LEAD. Discussion ELABORATE is a prospective, multicenter, real-world study designed to assess the efficacy and safety between ELA combined with drug-coated balloon (DCB) and DCB alone in patients with de novo atherosclerotic lesions of LEAD. According to the real-world situation, eligible patients will be allocated to ELA + DCB group (group E) and DCB group (group C). Baseline and follow-up information (at 3, 6, and 12 months) will be collected. The primary efficacy point is primary patency at 12-months, and the secondary efficacy points include clinically driven target lesion reintervention (CD-TLR), change of Rutherford class, ankle-brachial index and ulcer healing rate. These indexes will be assessed and recorded at 3, 6, and 12-month follow-up. Also, safety evaluation, including major adverse event, all-cause mortality through 30-day follow-up, unplanned major amputation, bailout stent and distal embolization, will also be evaluated by an independent core laboratory. All the data will be collected and recorded by the electric data capture system. This study will be finished in 3 years and the 12-month results will be available in 2023. All the patients will be followed for 5 years. Trial registration number Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2100051263). Registered 17 September 2019. http://www.chictr.org.cn/listbycreater.aspx.

Cilostazol effectiveness in reducing drug-coated stent restenosis in the superficial femoral artery: The ZERO study. PLoS One 2022; 17:e0270992. [PMID: 35797395 PMCID: PMC9262206 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0270992] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2021] [Accepted: 06/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Drug-eluting stents (DESs) play an important role in endovascular therapy (EVT) for femoropopliteal (FP) lesions. Cilostazol improves patency after bare-metal nitinol stent (BNS) implantation for femoropopliteal lesions. This study aimed to establish whether cilostazol is effective in improving the patency of DESs and determine whether BNS or DESs with or without cilostazol are more effective in improving the 12-month patency after EVT for FP lesions. Materials and methods In this prospective, open-label, multicenter study, 85 patients with symptomatic peripheral artery disease due to de novo FP lesions were enrolled and treated with DESs with cilostazol from eight cardiovascular centers between April 2018 and May 2019. They were compared with 255 patients from the DEBATE SFA study, in which patients were randomly assigned to the BNS, BNS with cilostazol, or DES groups. The primary endpoint was the 12-month patency rate using duplex ultrasound (peak systolic velocity ratio < 2.5). This study was approved by the ethics committee of each hospital. Results The 12-month patency rates for the BNS, BNS with cilostazol, DES, and DES with cilostazol groups were 77.6%, 93.1%, 82.8%, and 94.2%, respectively (p = 0.007). The 12-month patency rate was higher in the DES with cilostazol group than in the DES group (p = 0.044). In small vessels, the DES with cilostazol group had a higher patency rate than the DES group (100.0% vs. 83.4%, p = 0.023). Conclusions DES with cilostazol showed better patency than DES alone. Cilostazol improved patency after EVT with DES in FP lesions and small vessels. Clinical trial registration University Hospital Medical Information Network Clinical Trials Registry (no.

Abstract
Summary: Background: The search for an optimal interventional treatment strategy in infrapopliteal peripheral artery disease remains in the focus of interest. Whether drug-coated balloons (DCB) might enhance interventional outcomes after crural interventions is a matter of debate, as studies yielded conflicting results on DCB safety and efficacy. Patients and methods: We analyzed a retrospective cohort of 75 infrapopliteal DCB interventions performed at our institution in 68 patients with peripheral artery disease in Rutherford category 3 to 6. Results: Despite a high rate of long complex lesions and multi-vessel disease, freedom from clinically driven target lesions revascularization (TLR) after 365 days was 68%. After six months, healing or significant improvement of the ischemic ulcer was observed in 78% of cases. Accordingly, freedom from major amputation and death after 365 days was 82%. Freedom from major amputation and death was 76.2% of cases in patients with diabetes mellitus as opposed to 91.5% in patients without diabetes mellitus (p=0.049). Conclusions: With this real-world analysis we would like to contribute to the ongoing discussion on the benefit and safety of DCB treatment in below-the-knee interventions.
