Long‐term outcomes after paclitaxel‐coated balloon angioplasty of femoropopliteal arteries in Asian patients of the IN.PACT Global Study

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 100, Issue 7, Page 1273-1283, December 1, 2022., 2022
Abstract Objectives The long‐term data on the use of drug‐coated balloons (DCBs) for femoropopliteal atherosclerotic lesions in the real‐world setting are limited, even more so for racially and geographically distinct populations. The present analysis reports the 5‐year safety and effectiveness outcomes of a DCB in the Asian subset of the prospective ...
