Summary
This study tested if using a special device to remove plaque (atherectomy) before a drug-coated balloon works better than using a plain balloon first for complex blockages in leg arteries. 47 people with leg pain when walking (claudication) took part. The goal was to see which approach keeps arteries open longer and reduces the need for repeat procedures.
