Twisting of the Ranger Drug-Coated Balloon for Treating Superficial Femoral Artery Disease

Abstract

Paclitaxel-coated balloons have demonstrated improved efficacy compared with uncoated percutaneous transluminal angioplasty for femoropopliteal artery disease. While applying a long balloon, twisting of the balloon can be occurred. We reported two cases with twisting of the Ranger drug-coated balloon for treating superficial femoral artery.
