Drug‐eluting balloon angioplasty versus uncoated balloon angioplasty for the treatment of in‐stent restenosis of the femoropopliteal arteries
Abstract
This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows:
To assess the efficacy of drug‐eluting balloons (DEBs) compared with conventional uncoated balloon angioplasty in people with in‐stent restenosis of the femoropopliteal arteries. We define in‐stent restenosis as a 50% or greater narrowing of a previously stented vessel by duplex ultrasound or angiography.
