The Efficacy of Drug-Coated Balloons and Drug-Eluting Stents in Infrapopliteal Revascularization: A Meta-analysis.

The provision of additional evidence to substantiate the advancement of drug-coated balloon (DCB) therapy in the treatment of lower limb arteriosclerosis obliterans, particularly in the below-the-knee area characterized by high calcium load and significant occlusion, is comparable in efficacy to conventional procedures. This finding is advantageous for the progress of interventional revascularization. The advancement and efficacy of DCB have resulted in improved treatment outcomes for medical practitioners in clinical settings. Our research incorporates the most recent randomized experiments.
