Long-term outcome upon treatment of calcified lesions of the lower limb using scoring angioplasty balloon (AngioSculpt ™)

ConclusionLesion preparation with AngioSculpt ™ scoring balloon represents a safe and effective tool in the treatment of complex femoropopliteal lesions. In this retrospective analysis, AngioSculpt™ scoring balloon angioplasty did not significantly improve vessel patency- both when used as an adjunctive in preparation for stenting and as st and-alone treatment. A prospective study is needed to further investigate the scoring balloon treatment options.Graphic abstract
