Popis: Background Paclitaxel drug-coated balloon (DCB) catheter angioplasty is the preferred treatment for revascularization of femoropopliteal lesions in peripheral artery disease, but mortality is a safety concern. Purpose To assess 2-year efficacy and safety of DCB angioplasty compared with conventional balloon angioplasty (also known as plain old balloon angioplasty or POBA). Materials and Methods This prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial enrolled consecutive participants with symptomatic superficial femoral and/or popliteal artery disease at 11 German centers between September 2015 and December 2016. Participants underwent DCB angioplasty or conventional balloon angioplasty. Primary outcome of 6-month late lumen loss showed superiority of DCB angioplasty over conventional balloon angioplasty. Evaluation at 2 years included secondary outcomes of primary patency and target lesion revascularization (TLR) estimated with Kaplan-Meier analysis, clinical and hemodynamic improvement, quality of life, target limb amputation, and all-cause mortality. Results A total of 171 participants (mean age, 69 years ± 8; 111 men) were evaluated. At 2 years, primary patency was achieved in 90.2% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 80.4%, 95.2%) of DCB angioplasty and 62.7% (95% CI: 50.0%, 73.0%) of conventional balloon angioplasty participants (
