The use of drug-coated balloons in the treatment of femoropopliteal and infrapopliteal disease.

While the field of endovascular interventions has evolved in the last decade, technological advancements have rendered drug-coated balloons (DCBs) to be the first line therapy for femoropopliteal artery disease. As the knowledge continues to advance, the application of DCB to the infrapopliteal segments as well as its role in in conjunction with plaque modification to minimize stent utilization, will be further elucidated.
