This article aims to examine 2-year outcomes of target lesion revascularization (tlr) and the composite outcome of tlr or restenosis through comparison of balloon angioplasty (ba) and laser atherectomy (la) versus drug-coated balloon (dcb) treatment and la using m multivariate analysis for the treatment of femoropopliteal (fp) in-stent restenosis (isr).Fp-isr lesions were crossed with a 0.035-in.Guidewire.Pre-dilation was performed before the intervention using balloons 1 mm smaller than the reference diameter.Scoring and cutting balloons and distal embolic protection devices were employed at the discretion of the operator.Apart from the scoring/cutting balloons, non-medtronic laser atherectomy was also used in all lesions for vessel preparation.Following laser atherectomy, balloon angioplasty was performed as follow-up treatment with an uncoated followed by dcbs.Of the dcb¿s used, medtronic¿s in.Pact admiral paclitaxel-eluting balloon was included.Bailout stenting was used for treatment of flow-limiting dissections or suboptimal angiographic results with residual stenosis.Lesion locations include the superficial femoral artery (sfa), popliteal artery.The following complications are reported thrombolysis, dissections, and embolizations.Lesion success in the laser and dcb group is reported as 96%.Tlr or restenosis were 45% in the la + dcb group.The article concludes that the combination of dcb + la maintains superiority over la + ba after 2 years of follow-up by decreasing the composite endpoint of tlr or restenosis.
