Early 80s male with intermitted claudication underwent endovascular therapy for atherosclerotic stenosis at left external iliac artery and middle of superficial femoral artery. Patient also had chronic atrial fibrillation, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension. After stent deployment for external iliac artery lesion, a short superficial femoral artery lesion was performed with angioplasty using drug-coated balloon. The drug-coated balloon angioplasty resulted in 50% residual stenosis with linear dissection; however, provisional stenting was not performed as decent ante-grade blood flow allowed 10 extra minutes. Medication involved ongoing use of aspirin 100 mg and rivaroxaban 15 mg. Angiography post 3 months from index procedure showed external iliac artery and superficial femoral artery patency and healing of intimal dissection at superficial femoral artery lesion was estimated by intravascular ultrasonography. In angioscopy findings, red thrombus was seen in dissection cavity.

A 63 year-old woman with claudication underwent endovascular therapy for diffuse stenosis of the right superficial femoral artery in our hospital. We performed paclitaxel-coated balloon angioplasty using the IN.PACT™ Admiral™ and achieved acceptable results. After 42 days, we performed follow-up optical frequency domain imaging for the right superficial femoral artery lesion treated with paclitaxel-coated balloon and observed several high-intensity regions with attenuation on the lumen surface. Sustained drug availability is a notable characteristic of paclitaxel-coated balloon. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the visualization of sustained drug retention on the lumen surface using follow-up optical frequency domain imaging after paclitaxel-coated balloon angioplasty in a human patient with superficial femoral artery disease.
