Cilostazol Reduces Target Lesion Revascularization After Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty in the Femoropopliteal Artery

Abstract: Background Although percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is being widely used for the treatment of stenosis of peripheral arteries, the high in-stent restenosis rate (50-60%) in the femoropopliteal artery still remains an unsolved issue. Cilostazol is a unique antiplatelet drug that has vasodilatory effects and inhibits smooth muscle cell proliferation. Methods and Results A total of 141 consecutive patients scheduled for PTA in the femoropopliteal artery between September 1999 and April 2004 were retro… Show more

“…Indeed, some randomized control trials have shown that cilostazol improved long-term results in SFA intervention. [17][18][19] In the present trial, cilostazol was identified as an independent factor associated with primary patency.…”

“…Furthermore, chronic cilostazol treatment prevents TLR after PTA of the femoropopliteal artery in the general population (16). However, it is unclear whether this extends to high-risk individuals, such as those receiving HD.…”

“…The findings that lower limb severity was significantly associated with primary patency and that cilostazol reduced the restenosis rate after EVT 11 were compatible with previous observations. 1,2,11,12 Taken together, we can safely say that primary nitinol stenting is an attractive alternative to the angioplasty alone for TASC II A/B FPA lesions. Peripheral artery disease (PAD) has been estimated to affect more than 10 million in the United States 13,14 and also has been increasing in Asia.…”
