Impact of Stepwise Balloon Angioplasty for De Novo Femoropopliteal Artery: A Retrospective Observational Study. [PDF]
Health Sci RepABSTRACT Background and Aims Drug‐coated balloon use in the revascularisation of femoropopliteal (FP) lesions improves patency rates. However, conventional balloon angioplasty sometimes leads to severe artery dissection, which may be prevented using stepwise balloon angioplasty.

Assessing the effectiveness of primary angioplasty compared with thrombolysis and its relationship to time delay: a Bayesian evidence synthesis [PDF]
, 2007 Background: Meta-analyses of trials have shown greater benefits from angioplasty than thrombolysis after an acute myocardial infarction, but the time delay in initiating angioplasty needs to be considered.

Long-Term Outcomes of Invasive vs Noninvasive Treatment for Intermittent Claudication: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]
Cochrane Evid Synth MethodsIn patients with leg pain from blocked arteries (intermittent claudication), this study shows that surgical procedures improve walking ability and blood flow more than exercise or medication alone but carry higher risks. The findings help guide doctors and patients in choosing the best treatment based on individual needs and risks.

ASCORE: an up-to-date cardiovascular risk score for hypertensive patients reflecting contemporary clinical practice developed using the (ASCOT-BPLA) trial data. [PDF]
, 2013 A number of risk scores already exist to predict cardiovascular (CV) events. However, scores developed with data collected some time ago might not accurately predict the CV risk of contemporary hypertensive patients that benefit from more modern ...

Drug Coated Balloon Angioplasty in Failing AV Fistulas: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
American Society of Nephrology. Clinical Journal, 2018 BACKGROUND Restenosis remains a problem in hemodialysis access interventions. Paclitaxel-coated balloons have shown promise in reducing access-related restenosis in small trials.
