ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of the study is to report 24-month efficacy and safety results for the Japanese patient cohort in a prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) of drug-eluting stent (DES) use for peripheral artery disease.

Materials and methods

Patients in the global IMPERIAL RCT had femoropopliteal lesions treated with either the Eluvia DES (Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA, USA) or the Zilver PTX drug-coated stent (Cook Medical, Bloomington, IN, USA).
