Objective To explore the efficacy of drug-coated balloon therapy in treatment of patients with atherosclerotic occlusive disease of lower extremity.
Methods The preoperative, intra-operative and postoperative follow-up data of 38 patients with arteriosclerosis occlusive disease of lower extremity treated by drug-coated balloon therapy were retrospectively analyzed.
Results All the 38 patients had successful revascularization of affected limbs. During the follow-up period, no complications such as death, amputation, thrombosis of target lesions and other complications associated with surgery occurred. No patients with further intervention were observed, and the follow-up rate was 100.00%. The patency rate of stage Ⅰ was 84.21% and 73.68% at 6 months and 1 year after operation. Ankle Brachial Index (ABI), walking distance and Rutherford grading of all patients at different time points after operation were significantly improved when compared with those before operation (P < 0.05).
Conclusion Drug-coated balloon therapy is effective in the treatment of patients with atherosclerotic occlusive diseases of lower extremity.
