Analysis of the impact of nodular calcification on clinical outcome after drug-coated balloon angioplasty for femoropopliteal lesions
The NC is an independent predictor of restenosis in patients undergoing DCB angioplasty for femoropopliteal lesions. Patients with NC had a significantly lower primary patency, highlighting their negative impact on clinical outcomes. Further research is required to establish evidence-based strategies for managing calcified femoropopliteal lesions.
