Purpose: To evaluate the impact of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-evaluated tissue morphology on recurrence following drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty for the treatment of femoropopliteal in-stent restenosis (FP-ISR).
Methods: This study was a single-center, retrospective, observational study. Study subjects were 65 FP-ISR lesions (mean lesion length: 165 ± 88 mm, occlusive restenosis: 25%) in 53 patients (age: 76 ± 8, diabetes mellitus: 66%) who underwent DCB angioplasty and whose IVUS data of tissue morphology were available.
