Abstract

Backgroud: The use of drug-coated balloons for the treatment of TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus TASC-II C, D femoro-popliteal lesions has become widespread in recent years. Drug-coated balloons promise to minimize the rates of restenosis by effective delivery of antiproliferative agent (paclitaxel) directly to vessel wall without the need for a permanent implant. Reinterventions with drug coated balloons are lower and easier to perform because we leave no stent behind. Objective: The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the efficacy of drug‐coated balloon (DCB) and comparing it with conventional un-coated balloon (UCB) angioplasty for the treatment of femoropopliteal occlusive disease TASC II C, D in critical lower limb ischemia. Patients and Methods: Thirty patients were included and presented to vascular surgery department of Al-Azhar University hospitals and Sednawy hospitals in Cairo, Elaraby Specialized Hospital in Monofia and Albahah hospital in KSA with TASC II C, D femoro-popliteal lesions, distributed into two equal groups; Group I was treated with DCB for femoropopliteal lesions while group II was treated with UCB during the period from December 2017 to November 2020. Primary end point was wound healing, limb salvage or amputation. All patients were monitored with 0, 3, 6 and 12 months’ serial postoperative duplex scanning surveillance. Results: Twenty-five patients (83%) reached the end point of healing and limb salvage (14 patients with ‘DCB’ technique and 11 patients with ‘UCB’ technique), whereas 5 patients underwent major amputations (2 with ‘DCB’ technique and 3 with ‘UCB’ technique). The early patency rate at 1 and 3 months was 93.34% in the group with ‘DCB’, and 89.93% in the group with ‘UCB’. While the late patency rate at one year post-operatively was 88.86% in the ‘DCB’ group with, and 53.33% in the ‘UCB’ group. Conclusion: Both DCB and UCB were effective for treatment of femoro-popliteal occlusive disease TASC II C, D, and there was nearly no difference regarding wound healing and limb salvage while DCB appeared to be superior on UCB regarding high patency and low re-intervention rates.
