Background: Although favorable clinical outcomes have been demonstrated for fluoropolymer-based paclitaxel-eluting stents (FP-DES) in the treatment of femoropopliteal lesions, the vascular response after implantation has not been systematically studied through intravascular imaging.Methods and Resul...
