Abstract

Endovascular management of superficial femoral artery disease has historically been limited to percutaneous balloon angioplasty, atherectomy, and bare-metal stents. However, these therapies have been plagued by high restenosis and target lesion revascularization rates. More recent technologies such as drug-coated stents and balloons are designed to combat restenosis by locally delivering antiproliferative drugs. Several randomized controlled trials have directly compared these antiproliferative drug-delivering devices to their non-drug-coated counterparts. Additionally, trials are currently ongoing to compare use of drug-coated technologies in combination with traditional therapies in hope of synergistic effects. This review gathers data from currently published clinical trials, provides an overview of upcoming clinical studies utilizing drug-coated technology, and explores the possible impact these devices may have on clinical practice.
