Clinical Trial Summary

• Prospective, randomized, controlled, multi-center study

• A total of 240 subjects with femoropopliteal artery disease will be included according to inclusion and exclusion criteria.

• Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 manner into IVUS-guided or angiography-guided intervention group.

• Second 1:1 randomization into dual antiplatelet therapy (aspirin + clopidogrel) or triple antiplatelet therapy (aspirin + clopidogrel + cilostazol) is optional

• All patients will be treated with drug-coated balloons (In.PACT Admiral) for femoropopliteal lesions.

• Bare metal self-expandable stents will be used in addition according to findings of IVUS or angiography such as severity of arterial dissection or residual stenosis.

• Patients will be followed clinically for 1 year after the procedure.

• Ankle-brachial index and Image study follow-up (Duplex US or CT angiography) will be performed at 1 year.

Intervention

Procedure:
• IVUS-guided angioplasty
Angioplasty using drug-coated balloon (DCB) will be performed in standard manner. IVUS evaluation will be performed before predilation and after DEB treatment. In cases of stent implantation, additional IVUS evaluation will be performed after stenting. All lesions will be predilated using a plain balloon with a diameter 1 mm smaller than vessel size. Selection of DCB diameter will be chosen on the basis of IVUS measurement. Implantation of stents will be left to the operator's decision after reviewing IVUS findings after the DCB treatment. Generally, in presence of = 50% residual stenosis or flow limiting dissections, implantation of stents is recommended.
• Angiography-guided angioplasty
Angioplasty using drug-coated balloon (DCB) will be performed in standard manner. All lesions will be predilated using a plain balloon with a diameter 1 mm smaller than vessel size. Selection of DCB diameter will be chosen on the basis of angiogram. Implantation of stents will be left to the operator's decision after reviewing the angiogram after the DCB treatment. Generally, in presence of = 50% residual stenosis or flow limiting dissections, implantation of stents is recommended.
