Abstract: Purpose: Multiple randomized clinical trials have shown superiority of drug-eluting stents (DES) over bare-metal stents (BMS) for infrapopliteal disease. However, real-world data on DES utilization and outcomes in infrapopliteal chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) patients are… read more here.
