Infrapopliteal Drug Eluting Angioplasty Versus Stenting

In total 50 patients diagnosed with long-segment infrapopliteal arterial disease will be randomized in two groups. The patients randomized in the Drug coated balloons (DCB) study arm will undergo a percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) with the use of a paclitaxel-coated balloon, while the patients randomized in the drug-eluting stent (DES) study arm will undergo primary stenting using drug-eluting stent(s). The study's primary endpoints will be the 6-month angiographic binary restenosis rate. Secondary endpoints will include the immediate technical success,6-month primary patency, target lesion revascularization and limb salvage and complication rates.
