- Sirolimus-coated balloon angioplasty was studied for infrainguinal artery disease in a randomized trial.
- The primary outcome of major adverse limb events at 1 year was lower with sirolimus-coated balloons (8.8%) vs uncoated balloons (15.0%), showing superiority.
- A key secondary outcome also favored sirolimus-coated balloons, with fewer events (23.0% vs 30.8%).
- Safety outcomes, including death rates at 1 year, were similar between the two groups.
