: A recent meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials suggested an increased long-term mortality risk following femoropopliteal angioplasty using paclitaxel coated devices. To assess the long-term mortality after paclitaxel drug-coated (DCB) and uncoated balloon angioplasty (POBA) of femoropopliteal lesions in patients with ulcerations and gangrene in real world practice. : A retrospective mortality analysis of patients with at least 3-year follow-up who underwent balloon based endovascular therapy of femoropopliteal lesions was performed. : Overall 624 patients with femoropopliteal lesions were included in this study. Of those, 197 patients were treated with POBA without crossover to a paclitaxel coated device during follow-up and 427 patients with DCB angioplasty. Mean follow-up time was 33.3 ± 25.4 months. Mortality incidence was 81.7% (95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 76.1-86.8) after POBA and 59.0% (95% CI: 54.6-63.9) after DCB (p < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed type of treatment (POBA vs. DCB, (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.332, 95% CI: 0.215-0.514, p < 0.001), age per year (HR: 1.065, 95% CI: 1.046-1.087, p < 0.001), coronary heart disease (HR: 1.969, 95% CI: 1.323-2.930, p = 0.001), renal insufficiency (HR: 1.583, 95% CI: 1.079-2.323, p = 0.019), stroke (HR: 2.505, 95% CI: 1.431-4.384, p = 0.001) as predictors for all-cause mortality. In the subgroup excluding octogenarians, mortality predictors were type of treatment (HR: 0.463, 95% CI: 0.269-0.796, p = 0.005), age per year (HR: 1.035, 95% CI: 1.002-1.069, p = 0.038), coronary heart disease (HR: 2.082, 95% CI: 1.274-3.400, p = 0.003), stroke (HR: 2.203, 95% CI: 1.156-4.197, p = 0.016) and renal insufficiency (HR: 2.201, 95% CI: 1.357-3.571, p < 0.001). : This monocentric retrospective analysis showed no survival disadvantage for patients in Rutherford-Becker stage 5 after treatment with paclitaxel-coated balloons.

Background And Aims: When dealing with severely calcified lesions in endovascular therapy (EVT) for lower extremity artery disease (LEAD), navigating through severely calcified chronic total occlusion (CTO) using hard-tip guidewires can be challenging. To address this issue, we employed a novel highly intensive penetration (HIP) technique. This technique involves modifying the tail of a 0.

Objectives: To compare the safety and efficacy of debulking devices, including directional atherectomy (DA) and excimer laser atherectomy (ELA), when combined with drug-coated balloons (DCB) for treating de novo femoropopliteal atherosclerotic obliterans (ASO). Additionally, to evaluate the long-term outcomes and application status of these different debulking devices.
Methods: Clinical data were collected from patients with femoropopliteal ASO who underwent combined debulking and DCBs at the Vascular Surgery Department of Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, China, between January 2018 and January 2023.

: Sirolimus-coated balloons (SCBs) have emerged as a promising alternative to paclitaxel-coated devices for the treatment of femoropopliteal lesions. However, real-world data on SCB performance in also complex peripheral arterial disease remains unknown. We sought to evaluate the safety and 12-month clinical outcomes of the Selution SLR™ balloon angioplasty in a challenging real-world patient cohort.
