Abstract purpose: this study examines the use and impact of directional atherectomy with antirestenotic therapy (daart) versus angioplasty plus supera stent implantation on the outcomes during endovascular treatment of popliteal lesions in clinical practice.Methods: overall 143 consecutive patients (mean age 75.0±12.2 years, 72% male), with isolated atherosclerotic disease of the popliteal artery who underwent endovascular treatment using daart therapy or percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (pta)/supera stenting of the popliteal artery between (b)(6) 2016 and (b)(6) 2021 were identified from a retrospectively database.Patient and plaque characteristics were collected.A propensity-score matched, case-control analysis was conducted to balance covariates between the group of patients who underwent daart and the one treated by pta/supera stenting.Results: a total of 51 patients (35.7%) showed severe claudication and 92 (64.3%) critical limb ischemia.There was a trend toward longer treated lesions (90.4±81 vs 72.5±5.3 mm, p=0.089) and more chronic total occlusions (60.5% vs 46.8%, p=0.058) in the pta/supera stenting group, although not reaching statistically sign ificance.Moderate-to-severe calcification was present in most lesions treated (75.8% of daart group, 80.2% of pta/supera stenting group, and 78.3% of total cohort).Among the 53 case-matched pairs of patients treated with daart or pta/ supera stenting, there were no significant differences in short-term outcomes, including rate of technical success (96.2% vs 98.1%, p=0.232), procedural success (88.7% vs 90.1%, p=0.251), distal embolization (1.9% vs 1.9%, p=0.178), dissection (5.7% vs 1.9%, p=0.268), perforation (3.8% vs 5.6%, p=0.163), hospital discharge (1.2±0.1 vs 1.0±0.1, p=0.325), 30 day minor (28.3% vs 32.1%, p=0.264) or major amputation rates (7.5% vs 3.8%, p=0.107), and 30 day mortality (1.9% vs 1.9%, p=0.173).At 1 year, there was no difference in primary patency (73.6% vs 77.4%, p=0.233), primary assisted patency (81.3% vs 84.9%, p=0.167), secondary patency (86.8% vs 92.5%, p=0.094), ipsilateral minor (35.8% vs 39.6%, p=0.472) or major amputation (9.4% vs 7.5%, p=0.186), ankle brachial index improvement (0.32±0.12 vs 0.37±0.37, p=0.401), or mortality (5.7% vs 5.7%, p=0.121) rate between patients who underwent daart or pta/supera stenting for popliteal lesions.Conclusion: twelve-month results following daart technique or pta/supera stenting of atherosclerotic lesions of the popliteal artery are not different, regardless of patient and plaque characteristics.
