Nationwide Study of the Outcome of Treatment of Lower Extremity Atherosclerotic Lesions With Endovascular Surgery With or Without Drug Eluting Methods in Patients With Diabetes.

ABSTRACT: Paclitaxel eluting balloons and stents reduce the development of intimal hyperplasia and restenosis rate after endovascular treatment for peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in the lower extremities. As diabetes mellitus (DM) worsens the prognosis in PAD patients after invasive endovascular treatment, we assessed the effects of drug eluting technology for PAD with special focus on effects in patients with and without DM. All Swedish patients registered in the Swedish vascular registry Swedvasc after vascular or endovascular surgery for intermittent claudication, IC; (n=1948) or chronic limb threatening ischemia, CLTI (n=3353) in 2013 to 2015 were followed up regarding a composite of either major amputation and/or mortality during median 607 days and for reinterventions for PAD during median
