Iliac / Femoral / Popliteal

Find all the latest content on iliac or femoral or popliteal published on this website.

Treatment of diseases affecting the Iliac or Femoral or Popliteal system and determining which strategies could be effective in the treatment of femoropopliteal disease is complex. The use of imaging, adjunctive pharmacotherapy, stents, devices and techniques as well as understanding vascular access and bleeding complications are critical and can be found here….

PCR statement on the future of paclitaxel drug-coated balloons

Up until December 2018, drug-coated balloons (DCBs) were considered the standard of care in superficial femoral artery (SFA) disease. However, a meta-analysis published by Katsanos and colleagues in JAHA in 2018 has challenged the safety of paclitaxel DCBs for that indication. Should physicians therefore change their...
