Durg Coated Balloon Angioplasty in Infrapopliteal Lesions

Primary sustained clinical improvement at 12 months post-procedure

Primary sustained clinical improvement was defined as an upward shift on the Rutherford classification (Appendix) to a level of intermittent claudication without the need for repeated TLR in surviving patients without the need for unplanned amputation.

Freedom of major limb adverse events at 12 months post-procedure

Major limb adverse events were defined as the composite of clinically-driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR); unplanned, unavoidable major amputation of the index limb; and treatment caused death.

Patency of the target lesions at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months post-interventional

Patency includes the absence of clinically driven target lesion revascularization and/or recurrent target lesion diameter stenosis ≥50% by imaging (e.g., invasive angiography or, most commonly, duplex ultrasonography).

Procedural success rate

Procedural success for peripheral revascularization is defined as both technical success and absence of major adverse events (e.g., death, stroke, myocardial infarction, acute onset of limb ischemia, index bypass graft or treated segment thrombosis, and/or need for urgent/emergent vascular surgery) within 72 hours of the index procedure.

Vascular quality of life questionnaire(VascuQol)

The VascuQol was designed as a questionnaire containing five domains: pain (4 items), symptoms (4 items), activities (8 items), social (2 items), and emotional (7 items) to evaluate Health related quality of life (HRQL). Every item has seven response options, with scores ranging from 1 to 7. A total score is the sum of all 25 item scores divided by 25.And both the total score as well as the domain scores range from 1 (worst HRQL) to 7 (best HRQL).The lower the value, the poorer the quality of life. 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months
