Outcomes of drug-coated balloon combined with stenting vs. stenting alone in the treatment of femoropopliteal artery lesions requiring bailout stenting.

In the IPTW-adjusted Cox proportional hazards model with robust variance estimation, the POBA + DCB+BMS strategy was associated with a reduced risk of CD-TLR (HR = 0.43, 95% CI 0.10–1.83), although this did not reach statistical significance ( P = 0.26, Fig. 3 b).

While no significant differences were observed in MACE, AFS, or major amputation before weighting, IPTW-adjusted analyses showed a trend toward lower MACE and improved AFS in the POBA + DCB + BMS group (Fig. 8 ).
