Lower limb peripheral arterial disease commonly involves infrainguinal arteries, may impair walking ability (intermittent claudication) and may confer a significant risk of limb loss (chronic limb-threatening ischaemia), depending on the severity of ischaemia. Endovascular treatment has become the mainstay revascularisation option in both the femoropopliteal and the below-the-knee arterial segments. After crossing and preparing the lesion, treatment results in these arterial segments can be enhanced by using drug-coated devices (drug-eluting stents and drug-coated balloons) that mitigate the occurrence of restenosis. As for other medical devices, the use of drug-eluting devices is based on their demonstrated safety and efficacy profiles when applied in the distinct segments of the lower limb vasculature. In this state-of-the-art narrative review we provide an overview of the safety and efficacy of drug-coated devices when used in the femoropopliteal and below-the-knee arterial segments.</p>","PeriodicalId":54378,"journal":{"name":"Eurointervention","volume":"20 18","pages":"e1136-e1153"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11423351/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142301080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
