Background: The aim of this study was to compare 1-year outcomes for patients with femoropopliteal in-stent restenosis using directional atherectomy guided by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) versus directional atherectomy guided by angiography.
Methods And Results: This was a retrospective analysis for patients with femoropopliteal in-stent restenosis treated with IVUS-guided directional atherectomy versus directional atherectomy guided by angiography from a single center between March 2012 and February 2016. Clinically driven target lesion revascularization was the primary endpoint and was evaluated through medical chart review as well as phone call follow up.
Conclusions: Directional atherectomy guided by IVUS reduces clinically driven target lesion revascularization for patients with femoropopliteal in-stent restenosis.

The broad spectrum of clinical manifestations caused by peripheral arterial disease [PAD] and the morphologic heterogeneity of associated atherosclerotic lesions present a considerable management challenge. Endovascular interventions are recognized an effective treatment for PAD. Within this revascularization strategy the role of atherectomy debulking modalities continue to evolve.

Objectives: Endovascular therapy (EVT) for calcified nodules in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) remains challenging in achieving favorable outcomes. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of orbital atherectomy (OA) for calcified nodules using an IM catheter to precisely control the device and achieve optimal engagement with the target lesion.
Methods: We performed EVT for a calcified nodule in the right common femoral artery using an OA.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the long-term effectiveness of a treatment method (directional coronary atherectomy followed by drug-coated balloon angioplasty) for large bifurcation lesions, especially those affecting the left main trunk.
- It analyzed 129 cases, primarily involving left main trunk lesions, and measured outcomes like target lesion revascularization and adverse events over a follow-up period averaging 53.4 months.
- Results showed low rates of target lesion revascularization and other adverse events at 24 and 36 months, suggesting that this treatment is a viable option for managing complex coronary conditions.
