Impact of Circumferential Calcification and Acquired Minimum Lumen Area on 1‐Year Primary Patency After Drug‐Coated Balloon Angioplasty for Femoropopliteal Lesions

BACKGROUND: Severe calcification predicts restenosis after drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty for femoropopliteal lesions, but whether an adequate post-procedural minimum lumen area (MLA) can attenuate this effect, and how intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) circumferential calcif...
