Our single-center, retrospective study provides no evidence of increased risk of death with paclitaxel treatment in femoropopliteal disease. Contrastingly, age, renal insufficiency, and chronic limb-threatening ischemia were the most important factors contributing to mortality and therefore should be included as potential confounders in future studies assessing mortality in femoropopliteal disease.
