Abstract

How to cite this article: Cetin E, Unal CS, Keskin A, Kartal H. Novel paclitaxel-coated balloon angioplasty via single retrograde popliteal access for challenging superfi cial femoral artery and iliac artery lesions.Results: Seventy-two patients (68.6%) had total SFA occlusion and 41 patients (39%) had concomitant external iliac artery involvement, out of whom 31 (29.5%) had total occlusion. Procedural success 90.5% for superfi cial femoral artery and 85.3% for external iliac artery. Oneyear patency rates in SFA and EIA were 84.8% and 80.4%, respectively Conclusion: Single retrograde popliteal access and drug-coated balloon angioplasty may offer a useful alternative to known modalities in treatment of challenging superfi cial femoral artery and concomitant iliac artery lesions.Novel paclitaxel-coated balloon angioplasty via single retrograde popliteal access for challenging superfi cial femoral artery and iliac artery lesions
