Comparation of drug-eluting stents and control therapy for the treatment of infrapopliteal artery disease: a Bayesian analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Critical limb-threatening ischaemia is a life-threatening disease which often combines with infrapopliteal arterial disease. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is recommended as the first-line treatment for infrapopliteal arterial disease. Drug-eluting stent (DES) is another widely used option; however, its long-term therapeutic effect is controversial. The effectiveness of different DES for infrapopliteal arterial disease needs further exploration.

Methods and results

The PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and Clinical trials were systematically searched from inception to 1 February 2023. Literatures were included if the study was original, peer-reviewed, published in English or Chinese, and contained patients diagnosed with simple infrapopliteal arterial
