However, in recent years, atherectomy (ATH) has been proposed as a complementary approach. To assess the effectiveness of ATH compared with BA alone in patients with femoral-popliteal artery lesions, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We included RCTs that focused on patients with femoral-popliteal artery lesions and reported data on the use of ATH and BA therapy. Two reviewers conducted a literature search, refined the data, and assessed the risk of bias.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We included a total of 6 RCTs involving 399 patients with femoral-popliteal artery lesions. The use of ATH in combination with BA appeared to improve the patency rate at 12 months (odds ratio [OR]=2.04, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.14-3.62). In addition, ATH with BA was associated with lower major amputation rates (MD=2.01, 95% CI=0.06-0.77, p=0.02) and a decreased likelihood of bailout stenting (OR=0.07, 95% CI=0.02-0.25, p=0.001). However, there were no statistically significant differences between the groups in terms of target lesion revascularization (TLR) at 12 months, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), and distal embolization events. In addition, we performed subgroup analysis for different ATH devices and BA types.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Based on this meta-analysis, it can be concluded that the use of ATH in combination with BA is a safe and effective method for treating femoral-popliteal artery lesions. In addition, the patency rate at 1 year is superior to treatment with BA alone. Atherectomy also reduces the likelihood of amputation and bailout stenting. Clinicians should consider these findings when designing future RCTs and developing clinical practice guidelines.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical Impact<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This meta-analysis summarises a number of existing studies to advance understanding of the atherectomy devices and to reveal its potential. This new technique, when compared with drug coated balloon, shows the possibility of obtaining better clinical outcomes in femoro-popliteal lesions than drug-coated balloon alone, such as higher 12-month primary patency rates as shown in some studies. Currently, it is important to consider the appropriate technology applicable for individualised treatment. atherectomy devices seem to provide clinicians with additional options in clinical practice and to benefit patients in the future. This requires more high quality studies to explore the role and benefits of atherectomy devices in femoro-popliteal lesions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/15266028231215354","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,4]],"date-time":"2023-12-04T23:56:27Z","timestamp":1701734187000},"page":"1326-1338","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Efficacy and Safety of Atherectomy Combined With Balloon Angioplasty vs Balloon Angioplasty Alone in Patients With Femoro-Popliteal Lesions: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Dikang","family":"Pan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7544-7999","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Julong","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhixiang","family":"Su","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-2159-7032","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wenzhuo","family":"Meng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jingyu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Renal Division, Peking University First Hospital, Beijing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jianming","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2869-9736","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yongquan","family":"Gu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(13)61249-0"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jch.14659"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2174\/157340309789317823"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1191\/1358863x05vm615oa"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1556\/OH.2013.29567"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/VHRM.S209241"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2011.08.061"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cpcardiol.2021.101082"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/clc.23098"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00270-017-1649-6"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.tvir.2016.04.005"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2016.03.418"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ccd.27983"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCINTERVENTIONS.120.010280"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/15266028211070968"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_17_2","unstructured":"National Heart Lung and Blood Institute.Quality Assessment Tool for Before-After (Prepost) Studies With No Control Group.
