Purpose: To reveal the rate of 1-year freedom from restenosis and to determine the factors associated with the restenosis risk in femoropopliteal (FP) lesions treated with a Ranger drug-coated balloon (DCB) in real-world clinical settings.

Methods: This multicenter, prospective observational study enrolled 1131 patients and 1453 de novo or restenotic FP lesions (mean age=75±9 years; female=35.3%, mean lesion length=19.

Background: Randomized trials have shown comparable outcomes between second-generation low-dose drug-coated balloons (LD-DCBs) and first-generation high-dose drug-coated balloons (HD-DCBs); but the trial patients had low clinical complexity, and there were no comparisons in medically complex populations.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare outcomes between an LD-DCB (Ranger; 2.0 μg/mm) and an HD-DCB (IN.

Article Synopsis
  • A recent study found that patients treated with high-dose drug-coated balloons (DCBs) had a higher risk of major amputations compared to standard treatments, prompting research into the effects of different DCBs on drug delivery and embolization.
  • The study involved testing three types of DCBs in rabbits, measuring paclitaxel concentrations and evaluating tissue changes after 28 days.
  • Results showed that the Ranger DCB had the highest paclitaxel concentration and caused the most severe tissue damage, while the Lutonix DCB resulted in lower drug concentration in distal muscles but fewer downstream effects.

Background: So far only 1-year data have been reported for direct comparisons of paclitaxel-coated balloons (PCBs) using different coating technologies.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to report the 24-month results on the efficacy and safety of low-dose vs high-dose PCBs with nominal paclitaxel densities of 2.0 and 3.
