Event Description

Bausback et al 2019 (zilver ptx) ¿ ¿drug-eluting stent versus drug-coated balloon revascularization in patients with femoropopliteal arterial disease¿ after successful lesion crossing, but before lesion preparation (e.G., pre-dilatation), patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to primary stent implantation with the drug-eluting self-expandable nitinol zilver ptx platform stent (cook medical) or balloon angio-plasty with a dcb.Lesions were stratified by length into 3 categories (lesion length 10 cm, >10 cm to 20 cm, and >20 cm to 30 cm), with approximately 50 patients in each stratum.Des and dcb were intended to fully cover the target lesion and were placed at least 1 cm below the origin of the sfa and above the medial femoral epicondyle, with a maximum lesion length of 30 cm.Des post-dilation was at the operator¿s discretion to achieve a residual stenosis <30%.Intraprocedural complications comprised 5 ipsilateral embolic events (4 in the dcb group, 1 in the des group) all complications were resolved successfully by the operators.This file will capture the potential that these events occurred in germany, pr (b)(4)capture the potential that these events occurred in belgium.
