Purpose: To provide an updated systematic review and meta-analysis of safety and effectiveness outcomes with paclitaxel-containing devices.
Materials And Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating paclitaxel-containing balloons or stents in the treatment of femoropopliteal disease was performed. Pooled risk ratio (RR) was calculated using the inverse-variance, random-effects model in the assessment of primary patency, all-cause mortality, target limb major amputation, target lesion revascularization (TLR), and thrombosis.
