Description
Summary:Background:To compare the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing repeated drug-coated balloon (DCB) treatment for femoropopliteal (FP) DCB restenosis with those of patients without repetition-DCB.Methods and Results:From March 2013 to September 2014, 102 patients (118 affected legs) underwent DCB for symptomatic FP disease; 47 patients had restenosis, and 37 underwent reintervention over a 45-month follow-up. We compared the outcomes of repetition-DCB for DCB restenosis with those of patients without repetition. The baseline patient and lesion characteristics were similar between groups. The mean lesion length was 200.8±113.1 and 195.2±134.6 mm, P=0.894, respectively. In addition, the procedural and follow-up outcomes were not different. The rates of freedom from binary restenosis (70% vs. 14%, P=0.001) and clinically driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR) (78% vs. 38%, P=0.026) at 1 year were statistically different between groups. Cox regression analysis showed that repetition of DCB was the only predictor for freedom from binary restenosis (hazard ratio [HR]: 6.15, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.60 to 23.6, P=0.008) and CD-TLR (HR: 5.37, 95% CI 1.32–22.0, P=0.019).Conclusions:For FP DCB restenosis, repetition of DCB can potentially improve vessel patency and significantly reduce the need for reintervention compared with conventional treatment. However, these observations require further confirmation in larger scale studies.
