Application progresses of drug-coated balloon for femoropopliteal disease / 中国介入影像与治疗学

ABSTRACT

Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty is the preferred treatment of femoropopliteal arterial disease at present.But the high rate of restenosis needs to be solved rapidly.As a new treatment strategy,drug-coated balloon (DCB) can reduce the late lumen lose and the revascularization of target lesion by inhibiting intimal proliferation and inflammatory response,also it can treat femoropopliteal in-stent restenosis effectively.In addition,combining DCB and atherectomy or stenting can improve the outcomes for severe stenosis of femoropopliteal artery.The recent application progresses of DCB for femoropopliteal disease were reviewed in this article.
