Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of chocolate balloon assisted drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty for the treatment of TASC Ⅱ type C/D femoropopliteal artery lesions. Methods The clinical data of 58 patients with TASC Ⅱ type C/D femoropopliteal artery lesions treated with chocolate balloon +DCB or plain balloon+DCB at Fuwai Central China Cardiovascular Hospital from January 2021 to October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 27 cases were assigned to the observation group (chocolate balloon + DCB)and 31 cases tothe control group (plain balloon + DCB). The rate of dissection and the clinical outcomes between the two groups were compared. Results The technical success rates of the observation and control groups were 88.9% and 80.6%, respectively. The rates of dissection, flow-limiting dissection, and bailout stenting were significantly lower in the observation group than of the control group (all P < 0.05). Postoperative clinical symptoms of patients in both groups improved significantly compared with the preoperative period. The 12-month cumulative primary patency rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the 12-month cumulative freedom from clinically driven-target lesion revascularization rate between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion Chocolate balloonassisted DCB angioplasty was safe and effective for TASC Ⅱ type C/D femoropopliteal artery lesions. It reduced the rates of dissection and bailout stenting, and had better near-term outcomes than plain balloon + DCB.
