This study demonstrated that the Litos/Tulip DCBs are safe and effective in treating infrapopliteal lesions, with improved angiographic and clinical outcomes vs plain balloon angioplasty. The DCBs demonstrated significantly higher primary patency with fewer CD-TLRs than conventional angioplasty. The safety of the DCBs was noninferior to that of the uncoated balloons after 1 year of follow-up.
