CPVI—Case-Based Controversies in SFA and BTK Interventions-Definitive Technologies for SFA: Cases with DES, DCB, Stents, and Tacks

Definitive Technologies for SFA: Cases with DES, DCB, Stents, and Tacks

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the use of antiproliferative drugs in angioplasty procedures and their effectiveness in preventing restenosis. The speaker explains that balloon angioplasty can cause dissections in artery vessels, leading to a lower net gain than initially expected. The coagulation cascade and smooth muscle cell proliferation can also contribute to restenosis. The video presents the evolution of antiproliferative technologies in coronary and peripheral interventions. A case study is described, where the patient had iliac and SFA occlusions, which were successfully treated using drug-eluting stents and drug-coated balloons. The speaker discusses different treatment algorithms and concludes that drug-coated balloons may be more effective than drug-eluting stents, but further research is needed.
