This prospective multicenter study randomized 476 patients 2:1 to paclitaxel eluting balloon versus conventional balloon for femoropopliteal region lesions with the primary objective of assessing death, free amputationsurvival and reintervention at 6 months. At 6 months follow-up a higher rate of restenosis with conventional balloon was observed.These are preliminary results and we must wait for a longer term results.
