Making sense of endovascular therapies for femoropopliteal disease.
S Elissa AltinJinnette Dawn AbbottPublished in: Catheterization and cardiovascular interventions : official journal of the Society for Cardiac Angiography & Interventions (2019)
The femoropoliteal segment is a common target for endovascular intervention and the unique biomechanical forces on the arteries increase the risk of restenosis This large meta-analysis supports drug coated balloons as the initial endovascular strategy due to lower risk of target lesion revascularization compared to other modalities Whether there are subgroups of patients or lesion types that benefit from an alternative revascularization approach is unclear and warrants investigation.
