Chronic total occlusion (CTO) lesions of the femoropopliteal artery have been shown to benefit from drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty. However, because bailout stenting is often performed, the outcome of DCB angioplasty alone remains unknown, particularly the differences in outcomes between low-dose DCB (LD-DCB) and high-dose DCB (HD-DCB). To address these issues, we conducted a single-center, retrospective cohort study and enrolled 66 consecutive patients undergoing initial endovascular therapy with DCBs for femoropopliteal CTO lesions from June 2018 to February 2023.

Dissection and re-entry techniques are essential to achieve safe and effective chronic total occlusion recanalization. Several studies have demonstrated similar outcomes following extraplaque stenting compared with intraplaque stenting. Dissection techniques most often involve the use of knuckled wires to progress within and beyond the chronic total occlusion segment.

Background: Primary balloon angioplasty (PBA) is an alternative treatment approach for intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS); however, its efficacy may be compromised by arterial dissection or early elastic recoil after balloon dilation. This study aimed to explore the association between plaque characteristics on high-resolution magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging (HR-VWI) and failure of PBA for ICAS.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 113 patients with ICAS who underwent HR-VWI before endovascular treatment.
