Long‐Term Clinical Association of Superficial and Nodular Calcification on Intravascular Ultrasound‐Guided Successful Drug‐Coated Balloon Endovascular Therapy for De Novo Femoropopliteal Artery Disease
Superficial/nodular calcification on IVUS is a major predictor of restenosis after successful DCB-EVT for de novo FPA disease. These findings suggest a potential role for plaque modification or debulking strategies before DCB use in such lesions.
