Abstract
Purpose: To reveal the rate of 1-year freedom from restenosis and to determine the factors associated with the restenosis risk in femoropopliteal (FP) lesions treated with a Ranger drug-coated balloon (DCB) in real-world clinical settings.
Methods: This multicenter, prospective observational study enrolled 1131 patients and 1453 de novo or restenotic FP lesions (mean age=75±9 years; female=35.3%, mean lesion length=19.2±16.0 cm; chronic total occlusion [CTO]=33.7%; severe calcification=33.7%) that underwent successful Ranger DCB angioplatsy between March 2021 and December 2022.
Results: The primary endpoint was 1-year freedom from restenosis and its associated factors. Bail-out stenting was performed in 5.3%. During the follow-up, restenosis was detected in 249 cases. Freedom from restenosis by the Kaplan-Meier analysis was estimated to be 85.2% and 81.0% at 12 and 14 months, whereas freedom from target lesion revascularization (TLR) was 91.7% and 90.0% at 12 and 14 months. The patterns of restenosis were focal (39.2%), tandem (12.3%), diffuse (17.2%), and occlusive (31.3%). Independent risk factors of restenosis were female sex, diabetes mellitus, no runoff, history of revascularization, lesion length ≥25 cm, and CTO.
Conclusions: Our study demonstrated that 1-year freedom from restenosis after Ranger DCB for FP lesions in a real-world clinical setting was acceptable. Independent predictors of restenosis were female gender, diabetes mellitus, no runoff, history of revascularization, lesion length ≥25 cm, and CTO.
Clinical impact: Our study demonstrated the true performance of Ranger DCB in real-world practice, with a very low rate of bail-out stenting and no use of atherectomy devices. In addition, it also elucidated morphologies associated with restenosis and the risk factors for restenosis after DCB. Freedom from re-stenosis and TLR at 1-year after Range DCB angioplasty was 84.5% and 91.5%. Two thirds of restenosis had a non-occlusive pattern, and independent predictors of restenosis were female gender, diabetes mellitus, no runoff, history of revascularization, lesion length ≥25 cm, and CTO.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Endovascular Therapy (formerly the Journal of Endovascular Surgery) was established in 1994 as a forum for all physicians, scientists, and allied healthcare professionals who are engaged or interested in peripheral endovascular techniques and technology. An official publication of the International Society of Endovascular Specialists (ISEVS), the Journal of Endovascular Therapy publishes peer-reviewed articles of interest to clinicians and researchers in the field of peripheral endovascular interventions.
