Developing a Scanning Electron Microscopy Approach to Evaluate Paclitaxel Deposition From Drug Coated Balloons in a Human Cadaveric Peripheral Artery Disease Model
This SEM based method effectively evaluated drug transfer in human PAD lesions, revealing greater drug delivery in smooth lesions and the impact of vessel preparation. This novel analytic model offers a platform for optimising DCB strategies to improve PAD patient outcomes.
