Article Synopsis
  • Endovascular interventions using Luminor, a nanotechnology-based drug-coated balloon (DCB), have shown effectiveness in treating femoropopliteal lesions, with a large-scale study called the LUMIFOLLOW registry evaluating its real-world performance after it succeeded in prior trials like Effpac.
  • The LUMIFOLLOW study involved 542 patients with various comorbidities and lesion types, focusing on safety and efficacy, with primary endpoints including freedom from major complications and target lesion revascularization.
  • Results indicated a high procedural success rate of 99.4%, although some patients required stenting and there were minor adverse events, suggesting the treatment is generally effective but may need further assessment in complicated

Purpose: This study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of the fenestrated Anaconda device for the treatment of complex aortic aneurysms over 1 year in daily clinical practice.

Materials And Methods: All patients who received the graft between October 2019 and October 2020 were prospectively enrolled in an observational, multicenter national registry. The primary endpoint was the aneurysm-related 1-year mortality rate.

Introduction: Endoleaks represent one of the main complications after endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) and can lead to increased re-intervention rates and secondary rupture. Serial lifelong surveillance is required and traditionally involves cross-sectional imaging with manual axial measurements. Artificial intelligence (AI)-based imaging analysis has been developed and may provide a more precise and faster assessment.

Background: Despite improved patency with newer-generation nitinol stents, one-half of patients will require secondary interventions for in-stent restenosis (ISR). The best treatment strategy remains unclear. This study aimed to compare drug-coated balloons (DCBs) used alone or in association with excimer laser atherectomy (ELA) to simple percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in the treatment of femoropopliteal-ISR.
