Open AccessBare metal stent versus paclitaxel eluting stent for intermediate length femoropopliteal arterial lesions (BATTLE trial): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
Currently, endovascular treatment is indicated to treat femoropopliteal lesions ≤15 cm. However, the Achilles’ heel of femoropopliteal endovascular repair remains restenosis. Paclitaxel eluting stents have sho...
