Abstract: Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of drug coated balloon (DCB) vs. plain old balloon (POB) on in-stent restenosis (ISR) of femoropopliteal artery occlusive disease of the lower limb. Methods:The clinical data of 91 ISR patients admitted at Shanxi Bethune Hospital from Jul 2016 to Dec 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The primary patency rates were compared.Results:There were 43 patients treated with drug coated balloons and 48 patients treated with plain old balloons. The surgical procedure was successful in all cases, and the symptoms of lower limb ischemia were significantly improved after surgical procedure. The primary patency rate of patients who were treated by drug coated balloons was significantly higher than by plain old balloons at 12 months after surgery (83.7% vs. 62.5%, P<0.05). Conclusion:The use of drug coated balloons could acquire more satisfactory short-term clinical efficacy for ISR patients of femoropopliteal artery occlusive disease.
