Defining the ideal treatment for peripheral arterial disease remains an ongoing endeavor. The initial treatment standard of balloon angioplasty and stenting has produced suboptimal long-term outcomes due to in-stent restenosis and the subsequent need for revascularization. Yet, the field of endovascular medicine has seen an explosion of new technologies, which have yielded promising early and mid-term results. Anti-restenotic drug therapies have the potential to reduce neointimal hyperplasia, in-stent restenosis, and improve vessel patency in femoro-popliteal arteries. We discuss herein current and future drug eluting technologies across various delivery methods and platforms.
