Although the superiority of DCBs to uncoated balloon angioplasty for the treatment of femoropopliteal (FP) lesions has been demonstrated, the association of clinical factors, including anatomical features evaluated by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and platelet reactivity, with the loss of patency has not been systematically studied. The current prospective, observational study enrolled 160 consecutive patients (male 67.5%, mean age 74.7 ± 9.7 years) with 213 FP lesions treated with DCBs under IVUS evaluation. The platelet reactivity was measured in P2Y12 reaction units for all of the patients at the DCB treatment. The primary end point was primary patency at 12 months, while the secondary end points were freedom from target lesion revascularization (TLR), all-cause death, major target limb amputation and bleeding events at 12 months. Mean lesion length was 11.9 ± 9.4 cm and 34 (16.0%) were chronic total occlusions (CTOs). Thirty-four (16.0%) were severely calcified lesions. Primary patency by Kaplan–Meier estimate was 79.2% at 12 months, while the 12-month freedom from TLR, all-cause death and bleeding events were observed in 89.1%, 93.4% and 97.4%, respectively. There were no major target limb amputations through 12 months. Multivariate analysis showed that subintimal angioplasty for CTO lesions was a sole risk factor for loss of 12-month primary patency, while other IVUS parameters and platelet reactivity were not.
