Impact of Fluoropolymer-Based Paclitaxel Delivery on Neointimal Proliferation and Vascular Healing: A Comparative Peripheral Drug-Eluting Stent Study in the Familial Hypercholesterolemic Swine Model of Femoral Restenosis [Peripheral Vascular Disease]

Conclusions— In the familial hypercholesterolemic swine model of femoral restenosis, the implantation of an FP-PES resulted in lower levels of neointimal proliferation and sustained biological effect ≤90 days compared with a polymer-free stent-based approach.
